Q. If a force of constant magnitude acts in direction perpendicular to the motion of a particle, then its

Laws of Motion

Solution:

No component of force is in the direction of motion (as $\vec{F} \perp \vec{V})$ so it cannot change the speed of particle. But velocity cannot be constant because force will change the direction of motion.
