Is it possible that acceleration of a body is in one direction with motion in two directions?

Yes. In projectile motion, acceleration is only in vertical direction but velocities are in both horizontal and vertical direction. The horizontal component of the velocity remains same whereas the vertical component changes (due to the force of gravity and hence acceleration in vertical direction).

A body is dropped from a certain point and it reaches a velocity ‘v’ after some time. What would be the velocity reached after twice the time?

If the acceleration of a body remains constant, is it necessary that the path is rectilinear?

The velocity of a body will be changed in magnitude and direction while its acceleration is constant. Is it possible?

A hunter fires a bullet directly towards a monkey sitting at a distant tree. At the instant, the bullet leaves the barrel, the monkey drops. Will the bullet hit the monkey?
