When a particle moves with a uniform velocity, then dv/dt will be

(a) infinitely small

(b) zero

(c) infinitely great

(d) none of the mentioned

I got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Acceleration of a Particle along a Circular Path topic in section Kinematics & Kinetics of Motion of Machine Kinematics

The correct choice is (b) zero

Easiest explanation: When a particle moves with a uniform velocity, then dv/dt will be zero. In other words, there will be no tangential acceleration; but the particle will have only normal or radial or centripetal acceleration.
