3-2.Motion in Plane
medium

A particle moves in east direction with $15 \,m/sec$. for $2\, sec$ then moves northward with $5\, m/sec$. for  $8 \,sec$. then average velocity of the particle is  

A$5\, m/sec\,$ due $E -37^o -N$
B$5\, m/sec\,$ due $N -37^o -E$
C$7\, m/sec\,$ due $S -37^o -W$
D$10\, m/sec\,$ due $N -37^o -E$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} \overrightarrow{v}_{av} &=\frac{\text { total displacement }}{\text { total time }} \\ &=\frac{(15 \hat{\mathrm{i}}) \times 2+(5 \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \times 8}{2+8} \\ &=3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+4 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \\ &=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \mathrm{N}-37^{\circ}-\mathrm{E} \end{aligned}$
