Total time of motion on square track
= 3 min = 3 \(\times\) 60 = 180 s
Time period of revolution = 40 s
\(\therefore\) Displacement in 160 s (= 4 \(\times\) 40) = 0 as, toy cyclist will be reaching at the starting point.
Thus displacement in 180 s = displacement in 20 s
= \(\sqrt{(2)^2 + (2)^2 } = 2 \sqrt{2} \, m\)
So, the correct option is (D) : \(2\sqrt2\)
Car P is heading east with a speed V and car Q is heading north with a speed \(\sqrt{3}\). What is the velocity of car Q with respect to car P?
It is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and it is a quantity having a magnitude only. Motion in a plane is also known as motion in two dimensions.
The equations of motion in a straight line are:
v=u+at
s=ut+½ at2
v2-u2=2as
Where,
