3-2.Motion in Plane
medium
A particle moves towards east with velocity $5\ m/s$ . After $10\ seconds$ its direction changes towards north with same velocity. The average acceleration of the particle is
A
Zero
B
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\ m/s^2\ N-W$
C
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\ m/s^2\ N-E$
D
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\ m/s^2\ S-W$
Solution

$\Delta v=2 v \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)$
$=2 \times 5 \times \sin 45^{\circ}=\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\therefore a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{10 / \sqrt{2}}{10}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
