A scooter going due east at 10 ms-1 turns right through an angle of 900. If the speed of the scooter remains unchanged in taking turn, the change in the velocity of the scooter is

a
20.0 ms-1 south-east direction
b
zero
c
10.0 ms-1 in south direction
d
14.14 ms-1

detailed solution

Correct option is D

If the magnitude of vector remains same, only direction change by θ thenΔv→ = v2→ −v1,→Δv→ = v2→ +(−v1→)Magnitude of change in vector |Δv→|   =  2vsinθ2|Δv→| = 2×10×sin(9002) = 102  =  14.14 m/sDirection is south-west as shown in figure.
