A body is moving with a uniform speed of \(20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) on a horizontal circle. The change in velocity of the body in half revolution is

  1. A \(20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(40 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(\frac{20}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(40 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Speed of body, \(v=20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) Change in velocity in half revolution \(\begin{aligned} & \Delta v=\vec{v}_2-\vec{v}_1=-v \hat{j}-v \hat{j}=-2 v \hat{j} \\ & |\Delta v|=2 v=2 \times 20=40 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}\)
