Question
What determines the nature of the path followed by the particle
- Speed
- Velocity
- Acceleration
- Both [b] and [c]
The correct answer is: Both [b] and [c]
The nature of the path is decided by the direction of velocity, and the direction of acceleration. The trajectory can be a straight line, circle or a parabola depending on these factors
