The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\vec{ v }=\overrightarrow{ u }+\vec{ a } t$
$\vec{ v }=(2 \hat{ i }+3 \hat{ j })+(0.3 \hat{ i }+0.2 \hat{ j }) \times 10$
$\Rightarrow \vec{ v }=5 \hat{ i }+5 \hat{ j }$
$v =5 \sqrt{2}$ units

Concepts Used:

Motion in a Plane

It is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and it is a quantity having a magnitude only. Motion in a plane is also known as motion in two dimensions. 

Equations of Plane Motion

The equations of motion in a straight line are:

v=u+at

s=ut+½ at2

v2-u2=2as

Where,

  • v = final velocity of the particle
  • u = initial velocity of the particle
  • s = displacement of the particle
  • a = acceleration of the particle
  • t = the time interval in which the particle is in consideration
