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 , where is the mass of the particle and is its acceleration.
Since the mass of a particle is constant, a constant force will produce a constant acceleration .
Therefore, the acceleration of the particle will remain constant.
Since the mass of a particle is constant, a constant force will produce a constant acceleration .
Therefore, the acceleration of the particle will remain constant.
