When a force of constant magnitude acts perpendicular to the motion of a particle then - 

A) Velocity is constant                      B) Acceleration is constant 

C) KE is constant                              D) None of the above

Dear Student! thanks for the answer, keep up the good work!

A). velocity is constant...:))

When force is acting perpendicular to a particle's motion,

F is perpendicular to displacement (s).

Work = F.s (dot product of force and displacement)

= Force x displacement x cos90o

but cos 90o = 0

so, work done is 0.

 

but work is the change in kinetic energy

so change in KE =0

so, C) KE is a constant
