MCQ
Choose the wrong statement.
  • A
    Zero velocity of a particle does not necessarily mean that its acceleration is zero.
  • B
    If speed of a particle is constant, its acceleration must be zero.
  • C
    If speed of a particle is increases, its acceleration must be zero.
  • D
    Zero acceleration of a particle does not necessarily mean that its velocity is zero.

Answer

B. If speed of a particle is constant, its acceleration must be zero.
Explanation:
If speed, that is magnitude of velocity is constant whereas the direction of velocity changes; we cannot say that velocity is constant. Therefore, the particle has non-zero acceleration.
