Practice question
Question
A particle moves with an initial velocity of 4 i m/s and an acceleration of (2 i - 3 j) m/s² . What is its speed after 3 s ?
Explanation
Given:
A particle moves with an initial velocity of 4 i m/s and an acceleration of (2 i - 3 j) m/s² . What is its speed after 3 s ?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Velocity v = v_0 + a t.
This is standard NCERT relation.
Substitution & Calculation:
Given: v_0 = 4 i, a = 2 i - 3 j, t = 3 s . v = 4 i + (2 i - 3 j) × 3 = 4 i + 6 i - 9 j = 10 i - 9 j m/s . Speed v = sqrt10²+ (-9)² = sqrt100 + 81 = sqrt181 approx 13.45 m/s .
Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
