The position of a body, moving in a plane, changes from origin to 14î + 11ĵ in 20s. What is the velocity of the body?(a) 0.7î + 0.55ĵ(b) 0.55î + 0.7ĵ(c) 0.3î + 0.7ĵ(d) 0.3îI got this question in an internship interview.This intriguing question originated from Motion in a Plane with Constant Acceleration in section Motion in a Plane of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) 0.7î + 0.55Ĵ

For explanation: The VELOCITY of a body is the rate at which the displacement CHANGES with time. Here, the change in POSITION is the change in displacement, and is 14î + 11ĵ. The total time taken is 20S. Hence, the acceleration = change in displacement/time = 0.7î + 0.55ĵ.
