#Constant Acceleration

19 public questions tagged with this topic.

In motion with constant acceleration in a plane, what is true if the acceleration is zero?

If the acceleration is zero, the velocity remains constant in both magnitude and direction, resulting in uniform rectilinear (straight-line) motion. Without acceleration, the object continues in its initial state per Newton’s first law.

In motion with constant acceleration in a plane, what is true about the acceleration vector?

The acceleration vector in motion with constant acceleration remains constant in both magnitude and direction. This allows the motion to be analyzed as two independent one-dimensional motions along perpendicular axes. As per NCERT Class 11 Chapter 2, dimensional analysis checks correctness and SI units define base and derived quantities. This principle confirms that It changes magnitude is correct because its dimensions and unit match the physical quantity asked.

In motion with constant acceleration in a plane, how are the x- and y-components of the motion related?

For motion with constant acceleration in a plane, the x- and y-components are independent of each other. The motion can be treated as two separate one-dimensional motions along perpendicular directions, with each component governed by its own constant acceleration. As per NCERT Class 11 Chapter 2, dimensional analysis checks correctness and SI units define base and derived quantities. This principle confirms that They are independent is correct because its dimensions and unit match the physical quantity asked.
