  • $\overrightarrow{P}.\overrightarrow{Q}=\overrightarrow{Q}.\overrightarrow{P}$
  • $\overrightarrow{P}\times\overrightarrow{Q}=\overrightarrow{Q}\times\overrightarrow{P}$
  • $\overrightarrow{P}+\overrightarrow{Q}=\overrightarrow{Q}+\overrightarrow{P}$
  • $\hat{P}+\hat{Q}=\hat{Q}+\hat {P}$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\overrightarrow{P} \times \overrightarrow{Q} \neq \overrightarrow{Q} \times \overrightarrow{P}$ because $\overrightarrow{P} \times \overrightarrow{Q} = - \overrightarrow{Q} \times \overrightarrow{P}$

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
