Hi
Let the North be represented by Y-axis. The
when the car turns left, it moves along the -ve
x-axis, towards West.
Let
vl =50j kmph and, v2 = —50i kmph
Change in velocity is =
v2—vl = —50i — 507 kmph
Magnitude of change in velocity is
/507 + 50? = 50/2
The direction of the change in velocity =
Southwest, 45 deg. from South towards West.
Question : Directions: A migrating bird flies 40 km north, then turns east and flies 50 km, then turns north and flies 110 km, and turns to its left and flies 50 km. Where is it now with reference to its starting position?
