3-2.Motion in Plane
medium
A body lying initially at point $(3,7)$ starts moving with a constant acceleration of $4 \hat{i}$. Its position after $3 \,s$ is given by the co-ordinates ..........
A
$(7,3)$
B
$(7,18)$
C
$(21,7)$
D
$(3,7)$
Solution
(c)
The initial coordinate of the particle is $(3,7)$
$x$-coordinate is $3$ unit
$y$-coordinate is $7$ unit
As the body starts from rest so initial velocity $=0$
The acceleration of the body along $x$-axis $=4$ units
The acceleration of the body along $y$-axis $=0$
So, after $3$ seconds,
Using equation of motion along $x$-axis,
$x=x_0+u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^2$
as $u=0 \quad a=4$ units $\quad t=3$ seconds
$s=3+\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 3^2=2$ lunits
As there is no motion along $y$-axis so it will remain unchanged
Hence the final coordinate are $(21,7)$
