    A truck is moving eastwards with a velocity of 15 m/s. In 10 s, the velocity changes to 15 m/s northwards. Its average acceleration during this time will be

    A)  \[3\sqrt{2}\]m/s northwards       

    B)  \[\sqrt{2}\]m/s northwards

    C)  \[3\text{/}\sqrt{2}\]m/s northwards

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Here, Initial velocity \[{{v}_{1}}=15\,m\text{/}s\]     (eastwards) Time taken  \[t=10\,s\] and final velocity\[{{v}_{2}}=10\,m\text{/}s\](northwards) The change in velocity \[{{v}_{12}}=\sqrt{v_{1}^{2}+v_{2}^{2}-2{{v}_{1}}{{v}_{2}}\cos 90{}^\circ }\]       \[=\sqrt{{{15}^{2}}+{{15}^{2}}}=15\sqrt{2}\] Hence, acceleration is \[a=\frac{{{v}_{12}}}{t}=\frac{15\sqrt{2}}{10}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\]northwards
