Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 \sqrt{17} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), making an angle of \(\tan ^{-1} 4\) with - ve \(Y\) axis

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=5 t^2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-5 \mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{j}} \\ & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=10 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-5 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \\ & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=20 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-5 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \quad \text { at } \mathrm{t}=2 \mathrm{sec}\end{aligned}\)

\(\begin{aligned} & \tan \theta=\frac{20}{5}=4 \\ & \theta=\tan ^{-1} 4 \\ & \text { From -veY-axis }\end{aligned}\)
