Question:

If the initial velocity of a body is $V_1$ and final velocity is $V_2$ and the angle between $V_1$ and $V_1$ is $\phi$ then the change in velocity is.

Updated On: Jul 6, 2022
  • $V-2-V_1$
  • $\sqrt{V_2^2+V_1^2}$
  • $\sqrt{V_1^2+V_2^2-2V_1V_2\,\cos\,\phi}$
  • $\sqrt{V_1^2+V_2^2+2V_1V_2\,\cos\,\phi}$

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
