Kinematics Question 495

Question: A particle is moving eastwards with velocity of 5 m/s. In 10 sec the velocity changes to 5 m/s northwards. The average acceleration in this time is[IIT 1982; AFMC 1999; Pb PET 2000; JIPMER 2001, 02]

Options:

A) Zero

B) 12m/s2 toward north-west

C) 12m/s2 toward north-east

D) 12m/s2 toward north-west

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Δυ=υ2υ1

=υ12+υ222υ1υ2cos90o

=52+52=52

Average acceleration =ΔυΔt=5210=12m/s2

Directed toward north-west
