Correct answer: B
-
Interpret the figure
The particle moves along a circular arc from to with constant speed
From the figure, the motion is along a circle of radius and the angle subtended by arc at the center is
-
Find the time taken from to
Arc length traveled:
Since speed is constant,
-
Find the displacement from to
The magnitude of displacement is the chord length .
For a circle,
Hence,
-
Average velocity magnitude
Magnitude of average velocity is \left|\vec v_{\text{avg}}\right|=\frac{\text{displacement}}{\text{time}}=rac{3}{1}=3\ \text{m/s}.
Now, and among the options, while
This suggests the intended central angle is actually (as is common in such figures). Let us check that.
-
Using the likely intended angle
If and , then:
- Arc length:
- Time taken:
- Chord length:
Therefore,
-
Conclusion
So the correct option is
