Q106 / 150 · MHT CET 2019 (Shift 2) · Physics

In U.C.M., when time interval δ→0 , the angle between change in velocity δv and linear velocity (v) will be

  • A
    0o
  • Correct answer
    B
    90o
  • C
    180o
  • D
    45o

Solution

The direction of change in velocity δv is given by
ϕ=180o-θ2=90o-θ2 …. (i)
This can be shown graphically as
Figure
For small interval i.e. δt→0 , then angle between v1 and v2 is very small i.e., θ≈0o .
So, from Eq. (i) we get
ϕ=90o

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
