Question:

The $(x, y, z)$ coordinates of two points $A$ and $B$ are given respectively as $(0, 3,-1)$ and $(-2, 6, 4)$. The displacement vector form $A$ to $B$ may be given by:

Updated On: Aug 25, 2023
  • $-2 \hat{i}+6 j+4 \hat{k}$
  • $-2 \hat{i}+3 j+3 \hat{k}$
  • $-2 \hat{i}+3 j+5 \hat{k}$
  • $2 \hat{i} - 3 j - 5 \hat{k}$

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is(C): \(=-2 \hat{ i }+3 \hat{ j }+5 \hat{ k }.\)

The displacement vector from
\(A \equiv(0,3,-1) \text { to } B \equiv(-2,6,4)\) is 
\(=(-2 \hat{ i }+6 \hat{ j }+4 \hat{ k })-(3 \hat{ j }-\hat{ k })\)
\(=-2 \hat{ i }+3 \hat{ j }+5 \hat{ k }\)

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
