Answer:
Dear user,
Answer to your query is provided below
Acceleration is zero because of no change in velocity.
Explanation:
Remember that velocity is a vector quantity and a vector can change in 3 ways
•Magnitude only
•Direction only
•Both magnitude and direction.
Now the magnitude of velocity (speed) can stay constant while the direction is changing. This is the case in circular motion.
In the question above, it is mentioned that the girl is moving along a straight road. Therefore no change in direction of velocity.
