Question
A scooter going due east at 10 ms1 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
Options:
A .  20.0 ms−1 south eastern direction
B .  Zero
C .  10.0 ms−1 in southern direction
D .  14.14 ms−1 in south-west direction
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(902) = 10 2 = 14.14 m/s
Direction is south - west as shown in figure.
