    A certain vector in the x-y plane has an x-component of \[12\text{ }m\]and a y -component of 8 m. It is then rotated in the x-y plane so that its x-component is halved. Then ifs new y-component is approximately

    A)  \[14\,\,m\]           

    B)  \[13.11\,\,m\]

    C)  \[10\text{ }m\]           

    D)  \[2.0\text{ }m\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let A be vector in x-y plane. Its x and y components are \[{{A}_{x}}=12m\] and \[{{A}_{y}}=8m\] \[A=\sqrt{A_{x}^{2}+A_{y}^{2}}\] \[=\sqrt{{{(12)}^{2}}+{{(8)}^{2}}}\] \[A=\sqrt{208}m\] When the vector is rotated in x-y plane, then x component become halved and its new y component \[A_{y}^{'}=\sqrt{{{\left( \frac{{{A}_{x}}}{2} \right)}^{2}}+A_{y}^{'2}}\] \[\sqrt{208}=\sqrt{{{(6)}^{2}}+A_{y}^{'2}}\] \[A_{y}^{'}=\sqrt{208-36}\] \[A_{y}^{'}=\sqrt{172}\] \[=13.11\,\,cm\]
