Laws Of Motion Question 258

Question: The velocity of a body at time t = 0 is 102 m/s in the north-east direction and it is moving with an acceleration of 2 m/s2 directed towards the south.The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the body after 5 sec will be [AMU (Engg.) 1999]

Options:

A) 10 m/s, towards east

B) 10 m/s, towards north

C) 10 m/s, towards south

D) 10 m/s, towards north-east

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

v=u+at

v=u2+a2t2+2uatcosθ

v=200+100+2×102×10×cos135

=10m/s

tanα=atsinθu+atcosθ10sin135102+10cos135=1 α=45 i.e. resultant velocity is 10 m/s towards East.
