Rectilinear Motion
Question

A Scooter is going towards east at 20m/s turn right through an angle of  90o. If the speed of the scooter remains unchanged in taking this turn, the change in the velocity of the scooter is 

Moderate
Solution

Initial velocity  u=20m/s
Final velocity  V=20m/s
Angle between  u¯andV¯=90o
 The magnitude of change in velocity is
|ΔV|=|V¯u¯|=V2+u22Vucosθ=V2+u2cosθ=cos90=0=202+202=202=20×1.414=28.28m/s
