    The momentum of the particle at any instant is given by \[3\,\cos 4t\,\hat{i}+3\,\sin \,4t\,\hat{j}\]. What is the angle between momentum and force-acting on it?

    A)  \[{{60}^{o}}\]          

    B)  \[{{30}^{o}}\]

    C)  \[{{45}^{o}}\]           

    D)  \[{{90}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    From Newton's second law of motion the force acting is defined as rate of change of momentum. \[F=\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}\] Given,  \[\vec{p}=3\,\cos \,4t.\,\hat{i}+3\,\sin \,4t.\hat{j}\] \[\vec{F}=\frac{d\,\vec{p}}{dt}=-12\,\sin \,4t.\,\hat{i}+12\,\cos \,4t.\,\hat{j}\] Also, \[\vec{F}=\vec{p}=|\vec{F}|\,|\vec{p}|\,\cos \theta \] \[=(-12\,\sin \,4t.\,\hat{i}+12\,\cos \,4t.\hat{j}).(3\,\cos \,4t.\,\hat{i}+3\sin \,4t.\hat{j})\]\[=36(-\sin \,4t\,\cos \,4t\,+\,\cos \,4t\,\sin \,4t)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[|\vec{F}|.|\vec{P}|\,\cos \,\theta =0\] Since, \[|\vec{F}|\ne 0,\,\,\,\,|\vec{p}|\ne 0\] \[\therefore \] \[\cos \,\theta =0\] Hence,       \[-\,\theta ={{90}^{o}}\]
