The direction of the car’s average acceleration between these two points.

Answer to Problem 1OQ
Option (e) The resultant vector of average acceleration is directed towards South-West.
Explanation of Solution
As the car moves from point 1 to point 2, its speed doubles. Consider that speed at point 1 is
Write the expression for velocity vector at point 1 in
Here,
Write the expression for velocity vector at point 2 in
Here,
Write the expression for average acceleration as
Conclusion:
Substitute
Draw the figure for the average acceleration for the above equation as.
Thus option (e) is correct.
As per the above figure, the direction of arrow is towards North-East. The direction does not match with the resultant obtained. Thus option (a) is incorrect.
The direction of the average acceleration is towards North-West. The direction does not match with the resultant obtained. Thus option (b) is incorrect.
The direction of the average acceleration is towards North-West at some angle less that in option (b). This does not match with the resultant obtained. Thus, option (c) is incorrect.
The direction of average acceleration is towards west. This is not the resultant vector. Thus option (d) is incorrect.

- An object is placed 24.1 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -6.51 cm). A concave mirror (f= 14.8 cm) is placed 30.2 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?arrow_forwardConcept Simulation 26.4 provides the option of exploring the ray diagram that applies to this problem.
