An object moves on a flat surface with an acceleration of constant magnitude. If the acceleration is always perpendicular to the object’s direction of motion, (a) is the shape of the object’s path circular, linear, or parabolic? (b) During its motion, does the object’s velocity change in direction but not magnitude, change in magnitude but not direction, or change in both magnitude and direction? (c) Does its speed increase, decrease, or stay the same?
