Step-by-step solution
5 stepsDefine the initial and final velocity vectors.
Let the particle be at point initially and point finally. The speed of the particle is uniform, .
The velocity vector is always tangential to the circular path.
Let be the velocity vector at point and be the velocity vector at point .
The magnitude of both velocity vectors is , i.e., and .Determine the angle between the velocity vectors.
The angle between the position vectors and is given as .
Since the velocity vector at any point on a circular path is perpendicular to the position vector at that point, the angle between the velocity vectors and will also be .Calculate the magnitude of the change in velocity.
The change in velocity is .
The magnitude of the change in velocity can be found using the law of cosines for vector subtraction:Substitute and :
Factor out :
Use a trigonometric identity to simplify.
Recall the trigonometric identity: .
Substitute this into the equation for :Take the square root to find the magnitude.
For typical angles swept in a circular motion (), will be in the range . In this range, .
Therefore, we can remove the absolute value sign:Comparing this result with the given options:
(a)
(b) शून्य
(c)
(d)
The calculated magnitude of the change in velocity matches option (c).
The final answer is .
