A mosquito is moving with a velocity \(\overrightarrow{ v }=0.5 t ^{2} \hat{ i }+3 t \hat{ j }+9 \hat{ k }\, m / s\) and accelerating in uniform conditions. What will be the direction of mosquito after \(2 \,s\) ?
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\) from \(y\) -axis
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given :
\(\overrightarrow{ v }=0.5 t ^{2} \hat{ i }+3 t \hat{ j }+9 \hat{ k }\)
\(\overrightarrow{ v }_{ at\,t =2}=2 \hat{ i }+6 \hat{ j }+9 \hat{ k }\)
\(\therefore\) Angle made by direction of motion of mosquito will be,
\(\cos ^{-1} \frac{2}{11}(\) from \(x\) -axis \()=\tan ^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{117}}{2}\)
\(\cos ^{-1} \frac{6}{11}(\) from \(y\) -axis \()=\tan ^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{85}}{6}\)
\(\cos ^{-1} \frac{9}{11}(\) from \(z\) -axis \()=\tan ^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{40}}{9}\)
None of the option is matching.
Hence this question should be bonus.
