The vector $\overrightarrow{O A}$ where $O$ is origin is given by $\overrightarrow{O A}=2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}$. Now it is rotated by $45^{\circ}$ anticlockwise about $O$. What will be the new vector?
A
$2 \sqrt{2} \hat{j}$
B
$2 \hat{j}$
C
$2 \hat{i}$
D
$2 \sqrt{2} \hat{i}$
Solution

(a)
$\overline{O A}=2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}$
$|\overline{O A}|=\sqrt{4+4} \Rightarrow 2 \sqrt{2}$
On rotating by an angle of $45^{\circ}$ anticlockwise it will lie along $y$-axis.
So $\vec{A}=2 \sqrt{2} \hat{j}$
