The position vector of a particle related to time is given by The direction of net force experienced by the particle is :
- APositive - axis
- BPositive - axis
- CPositive - axis
- DIn - plane
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Given position vector
-
Find velocity by differentiating position with respect to time:
-
Find acceleration by differentiating velocity with respect to time:
-
Relate force and acceleration using Newton's second law:
Since mass is positive, the direction of force is the same as the direction of acceleration.
-
Direction of acceleration:
This is along the positive -axis.
-
Check options:
- A: Positive -axis Incorrect
- B: Positive -axis Correct
- C: Positive -axis Incorrect
- D: In - plane Not the most specific correct direction, since force is purely along
Therefore, the net force is along the positive -axis.
