(b) Each component of a vector is always a scalar

 

(c) The total path length is always equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector of a particle

 

(d) The average speed of a particle (defined as total path length divided by the time taken to cover the path) is either greater or equal to the magnitude of average velocity of the particle over the same interval of time

 

(e) Three vectors not lying in a plane can never add up to give a null vector

    (a) The magnitude of a vector is a number only, hence always a scalar – TRUE

    (b) Each component of a vector is also a vector – FALSE

    (c) The total path length is a scalar quantity, whereas displacement is a vector quantity. – FALSE

    (d) The total path length is always greater than or equal to the magnitude of displacement of a particle – TRUE

    (e) Three vectors which do not lie in a plane can never add up to give a null vector – TRUE

  a = v 0 2 R

after 10 kicks, v = v 0 + 1 0 v 0 1 0 0 = 1 . 1 v 0

R 1 = 1 . 2 1 R

v? = 3tî v? = 24cos 60°î + 24sin 60°? = 12î + 12√3?
v? = v? – v? = (12 – 3t)î + 12√3?
It is minimum when 12 - 3t = 0 ⇒ t = 4sec

ω = θ² + 2θ
α = (ωdω)/dθ = (θ² + 2θ) (2θ + 2)
At θ = 1rad.
ω = 3rad/s and α = 12rad/s²
a? = αR = 12 m/s² a? = ω²R = 9 m/s² A? = √ (a? ² + a? ²) = 15 m/s²

a? = v? ²/4r
a_A? = (v? ²/r²) × r = v? ²/r
a_A = 3v? ²/4r
