A body is moving with velocity 30 m/s towards east. After 10 seconds its velocity becomes 40 m/s towards north. The average acceleration of the body is
- 1 m/s2
- 7 m/s2
- 7 m/s2
- 5 m/s2
Answer
(4) 5 m/s2
Solution
v1 = 30 i m/s (east), v2 = 40 j m/s (north)
v = v2 - v1 = -30 i + 40 j
| v| = 302 + 402 = 50 m/s
aav = | v| t = 5010 = 5 m/s2
Answer: (4)
