Q96 / 180 · NEET 2013 (All India) · Physics

The velocity of a projectile at the initial point $A$ is $(2 \mathbf{i}+3 \mathbf{j}) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. Its velocity (in $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ ) at point $B$ is Figure

  • A
    $-2 \mathbf{i}-3 \mathbf{j}$
  • B
    $-2 \mathbf{i}+3 \mathbf{j}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $2 \mathbf{i}-3 \mathbf{j}$
  • D
    $2 \mathbf{i}+3 \mathbf{j}$

Solution

From the figure the $X$-component remain unchanged, while the $Y$-component is reverse. Then, the velocity at point $B$ is $(2 \mathrm{i}-3 \mathrm{j}) \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$.

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