The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$ A = 6 \hat i + 8 \hat j$ $ B = 210 \hat i + 280 \hat k$ $ C = 0.3 \hat i + 0.4 \hat j = \frac{1}{20} (6 \hat i + 8 \hat j)$ and $\hspace30mm D = 3.6 \hat i + 6 \hat j + 4.8 \hat k$ Hence, it is clear that A and C are parallel and we can write as $ C = \frac{1}{20} A$ This implies that A is parallel to C.

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
