Give Reasons for the Following:
Can a body move horizontally with acceleration in vertical direction? If yes, why?
Yes, a body can move horizontally with acceleration in vertical direction.
Consider the application of centripetal acceleration on a body for an example.
When a body moves on a circular path, then centripetal acceleration is always in radial direction and towards the center.
So, consider a body moving on a vertical circle passing its highest and lowest point.
ac acts vertically whereas v in both cases acts horizontally.
