A particle is moving on a circular path with a constant speed v . Its change of velocity as it moves from A to B in the figure is
Options
- A2 v 2
- Bv
- Cv 2 2
- D2 v
Correct answer
A. 2 v 2
Step-by-step solution
The given situation is shown below From above figure we can observe that velocity vector (tangential to circle) can be resolved into horizontal (v 2 ) and vertical (v 2 ) components. As, particle is executing uniform circular motion, magnitudes of components remains same but direction of vertical component is reversed. So, Initial velocity v₁=v 2 i +v 2 j and final velocity, v₂=v 2 i -v 2 j Change in velocity aligned & = final velocity - Initial velocity & =v₂-v₁ & = (v 2 i -v 2 j )- (v 2 i +v 2 j ) & =-2 v 2 j ali
