State which of the following situations are possible and give an example for each:

(a) An object with a constant acceleration but with zero velocity.
(b) An object moving with an acceleration but with uniform speed.
(c) An object moving in a certain direction with an acceleration in the perpendicular direction.



Answer :

Final answer:

Objects can exhibit unique motion characteristics like constant acceleration with zero velocity, acceleration with uniform speed, and perpendicular acceleration to motion direction.


Explanation:

An object can have a constant acceleration while having zero velocity. For instance, a ball thrown upwards reaches a peak point where its velocity is zero momentarily but with a constant acceleration due to gravity pulling it downwards.

An object can move with an acceleration while maintaining a uniform speed. A car moving in a circular path at a constant speed experiences an acceleration towards the center of the circle, perpendicular to its velocity.

An object can move in a certain direction with an acceleration perpendicular to it. For example, a ball thrown horizontally experiences gravity acting downwards, which is perpendicular to its motion.
