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 is the velocity of the scooter is
Answer: Option D
:
D
If the magnitude of vector remains same, only direction change by θ then
⃗△v = ⃗v2 - ⃗v1, ⃗△v = ⃗v2 + (- ⃗v1)
Magnitude of change in vector |⃗△v| = 2 v sin (θ2)
|⃗△v| = 2 × 10 × sin(90∘2) = 10 √2 = 14.14 m/s
Direction is south - west as shown in figure.
