JEE Main & Advanced Physics Motion in a Straight Line / सरल रेखा में गति Question Bank Mock Test - Motion in one Dimension

  • question_answer
    Three forces start acting simultaneously on a particle moving with velocity \[{{v}^{\to }}\]. These forces are represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle ABC (as shown). The particle will now move with velocity

    A) \[\overrightarrow{v}\]remaining unchanged

    B) less than \[\overrightarrow{v}\]                       

    C) greater than \[\overrightarrow{v}\]

    D) \[\left| \overrightarrow{v} \right|\] in the direction of the largest force BC

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] From polygon law of vector addition we know if the vectors are arranged along the sides of a polygon the resultant of vector becomes zero. Here in this case the forces are represented by the sides of a triangle taken in same order, so their resultant is zero, it means the acceleration of the particle should be zero, hence velocity remains constant.
