When a constant force is applied to a particle, its acceleration will
Options
- Abe undefined
- Bremain constant
- Cgradually decrease
- Dgradually increase
Correct answer
B. remain constant
Step-by-step solution
According to Newton's second law of motion, the force applied on a particle is given by F = ma , where m is the mass of the particle and a is its acceleration. Since the mass of a particle is constant, a constant force F will produce a constant acceleration a = F m . Therefore, the acceleration of the particle will remain constant.
