    The momentum of the particle at any instant is given by \[3\cos 4t\hat{i}+3\sin 4t\hat{j}\]What is the angle between momentum and force acting on it?

    A) \[60{}^\circ \]                                   

    B) \[30{}^\circ \]

    C) \[45{}^\circ \]

    D) \[90{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     From Newtons second law of motion the force acting is defined as rate of change of momentum. \[F=\frac{d\overrightarrow{p}}{dt}\] Given, \[\overrightarrow{P}=3\cos 4t.\hat{i}+3\sin 4t.\,\hat{j}\]                 \[\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{d\overrightarrow{P}}{dt}=-12\,\sin 4t.\hat{i}+12\cos 4t.\hat{j}\] Also,      \[\overrightarrow{F}.\overrightarrow{P}=|\overrightarrow{F}||\overrightarrow{P}|\cos \theta \] \[=(-12\sin 4t.\hat{i}+12\cos 4t.\hat{j}).(3\cos 4t.\hat{i}\]                                                                 \[+3\sin 4t.\hat{j})\] \[=36(-\sin 4t\cos 4t+\cos 4t\sin 4t)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[|\overrightarrow{F}|.|\overrightarrow{P}|\cos \theta =0\] Since,    \[|\overrightarrow{F}|\ne 0,|\overrightarrow{P}|\ne 0\] \[\therefore \]        \[\cos \theta =0\] Hence,           \[\theta =90{}^\circ \]
