    What determines the nature of the path followed by the particle?

    A)  Speed                                 

    B)  Velocity

    C)  Acceleration     

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The nature of path is decided by velocity, acceleration and its direction. Velocity is the ratio of displacement to time. It is a vector quantity possessing both magnitude and direction when a particles velocity charges, the particle is said to undergo acceleration. The instantaneous acceleration is the derivative of the velocity with respect to time. Acceleration is also a vector quantity, possessing both magnitude and direction. Depending on variation of velocity, acceleration the path could be a straight line, circle or a parabola. Hence, option  is correct.
