The magnitude and direction of the accelerationof a body are constant.

1.	The magnitude and direction of the accelerationof a body are constant. Will the path of the body necessarily be a straight line ?
Answer» Solution :If the magnitude as wall as DIRECTION of the acceleration of a body is constant, then it is not necessary the the path of the body is a straight line. Eg: In projectile motion, the projectile is under acceleration DUE to gravity which has constant magnitude `(9.8 m//s^(2))`and constant direction (vertically DOWNWARD) . The path of projectile is PARABOLIC and not a straight line.
