Kinematics Question 28

Question: A scooter going due east at 10 ms?1 turns right through an angle of 90°. If the speed of the scooter remains unchanged in taking turn, the change it’s the velocity of the scooter it’s [BHU 1994]

Options:

A) 20.0ms1 south eastern direction

B) Zero

C) 10.0ms1 in southern direction

D) 14.14ms1 in south-west direction

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

If the magnitude of vector remains same, only direction change by θ then Δv=v2v1 , Δv=v2+(v1)

Magnitude of change in vector |Δv|=2vsin(θ2)

|Δv|=2×10×sin(902) = 102 = 14.14m/s

direction is south-west .
