Question:

A particle moves in the X-Y plane under the influence of a force such that its linear momentum is $p(t) =A[\widehat{i}cos\, (kt) -\widehat{j}sin\, (kt)]$ where, A and k are constants. The angle between the force and the momentum is

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, F=\frac{dp}{dt} =-kA\, sin\, (kt) \widehat{i} - kA\, cos\, (kt)\widehat{j}$
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, p=A\, cos\, (kt) \widehat{i} - A\, sin\, (kt)\widehat{j}$
Since, $\hspace20mm F.p=0$
$\therefore$ Angle between F and p should be $90^\circ.$

System of Particles and Rotational Motion

  1. The system of particles refers to the extended body which is considered a rigid body most of the time for simple or easy understanding. A rigid body is a body with a perfectly definite and unchangeable shape.
  2. The distance between the pair of particles in such a body does not replace or alter. Rotational motion can be described as the motion of a rigid body originates in such a manner that all of its particles move in a circle about an axis with a common angular velocity.
  3. The few common examples of rotational motion are the motion of the blade of a windmill and periodic motion.
