Give examples of motion in which the directions of the velocity and acceleration vectors are (a) opposite, (b) the same, and (c) mutually perpendicular​

Sagot :

Answer:

a) When moving body applies brake then velocity and acceleration would be in opposite direction

b) When body starts to increase velocity then velocity and acceleration would be in same direction

c) When body is circulating then velocity and acceleration would be perpendicular to each other

Explanation:

a) When body applies brake then its velocity starts decreasing, in this case its acceleration would try to stop the moving body. So direction of velocity would be same as direction of motion of body but direction of acceleration would be in opposite direction

b) When body starts to increase velocity, its acceleration would make the body to move faster. So direction of velocity would be the direction of motion of body and acceleration would also be in same direction

c) When body moves in circular path then its acceleration would be towards centre of circle and velocity would try to snap the body out of circle to straight line which in tangent to circle.
