Ben is exercising his pony on a large, oval track. the pony is trotting at a constant speed of 10 m/s around the track. what can be made about the pony's acceleration?

Pony motion is an accelerated motion in oval path

Explanation:

Since the pony is moving in oval track with constant speed so we can say that the motion of pony is an accelerated motion

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

here while moving in oval track we know that the velocity of the pony is changing its direction continuously

The velocity is a vector quantity and its direction and magnitude is changing then we can say that velocity is changing with time

so here during motion along oval path the magnitude of velocity is constant while the direction of velocity is changing so this motion is an accelerated motion of pony

if they have a finite resultant
