Question -

A particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the  velocity of the particle . The motion of the particle takes place in a plane . It follows that

Options:
A .  its velociy is constant
B .  its kinetic energy is constant
C .  it moves in a circular path
D .  both (B) and (C) are correct
Answer: Option D

A force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle does not do work . Hence , K.E. of the particle is constant . As force is perpendicular to the velocity the particle  moves in a circular path
