Laws Of Motion Question 83
Question: Three forces starts acting simultaneously on a particle moving with velocity $ \vec{v}. $ These forces are represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle ABC (as shown). The particle will now move with velocity[AIEEE 2003]
Options:
A) $ \overrightarrow{v} $ remaining unchanged
B) Less than $ \overrightarrow{v} $
C) Greater than $ \overrightarrow{v} $
D) $ \overrightarrow{v} $ in the direction of the largest force BC
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Net force on the particle is zero so the $ \overrightarrow{v} $ remains unchanged.
