A certain vector in the \(x y\)-plane has an \(x\)-component of \(4 \mathrm{~m}\) and a \(y\)-component of \(10 \mathrm{~m}\). It is then rotated in the \(x y\)-plane so that its \(x\)-component is doubled. Then its new \(y\)-component is (approximately)

  1. A \(20 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(7.2 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(5.0 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(4.5 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(7.2 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, \(\mathbf{A}=4 \mathbf{i}+10 \mathbf{j}\) \(\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad|\mathrm{A}|=\sqrt{(4)^2+(10)^2} & =\sqrt{16+100} \\ & =\sqrt{116} \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}\) Now, according to question, So,…
