A body of mass m accelerates uniformly from rest to v₁ in time t₁. The instantaneous power delivered to the body as a function of time t is

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

• its velocity is constant

• its acceleration is constant

• its kinetic energy is constant

• its kinetic energy is constant
