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…
