A particle has an initial velocity $3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}$ and an acceleration of $0.4 \hat{i}+0.3 \hat{j}$. Its speed after 10 s is
  1. 10 units
  2. $7 \sqrt{2}$ units
  3. 7 units
  4. $8.5$ units

Solution

$ \begin{aligned} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{u}} & =3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+4 \hat{\mathrm{j}} ; \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}=0.4 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+0.3 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \\ \overrightarrow{\mathrm{u}} & =\overrightarrow{\mathrm{u}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{t} \\ & =3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+4 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+(0.4 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+0.3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}) 10=3 \hat{i}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+4 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}=7 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+7 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \end{aligned} $ Speed is $\sqrt{7^2+7^2}=7 \sqrt{2}$ units
