Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 \hat{i}+5 \sqrt{3} \hat{j}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \vec{v}=v \cos \theta \hat{i}+v \sin \theta \hat{j} \\ & =10 \cos 60 \hat{i}+10 \sin 60 \hat{j} \\ & =10 \times \frac{1}{2} \hat{i}+10 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{j} \\ & =5 \hat{i}+5 \sqrt{3} \hat{j}\end{aligned}\)
