MCQ
A particle is moving on a circular path of radius $r$ with uniform speed $v$. The magnitude of change in velocity when the particle moves from $P$ to $Q$ is  $(\angle POQ = 40^o)$
  • A
    $2v\, cos\, 40^o$
  • B
    $2v\, sin\, 40^o$
  • ✓
    $2v\, sin\, 20^o$
  • D
    $2v\, cos\, 20^o$
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
$2v\, sin\, 20^o$
c
$\vec{v}_{i}=v \cos \theta \hat{i}+v \sin \theta \hat{j}$

$\vec{v}_{f}=v \hat{i}$

$ \therefore  \Delta \vec{v}=\vec{v}_{f}-\vec{v}_{i}$

$=v(1-\cos \theta) \hat{i}+v \sin \theta \hat{j}$

or $\quad \Delta \mathrm{v}=\mathrm{v} \sqrt{(1-\cos \theta)^{2}+(\sin \theta)^{2}}$

${=v \sqrt{1-2 \cos \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta}}$

${=v \sqrt{2(1-\cos \theta)}}$

${=v \sqrt{2\left[1-\left(1-2 \sin ^{2} \frac{\theta}{2}\right)\right]}}$

${v=\sqrt{2 \times 2 \sin ^{2} \frac{\theta}{2}}}$

${=2 v \sin \frac{\theta}{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \Delta \mathrm{v}=2 \mathrm{v} \sin 20^{\circ} \quad\left(\because \quad \theta=40^{\circ}\right)$
