57. A particle moves in the xy-plane, starting from the origin at initial velocity having an x component of 20ms and a y component of 15ms⁻¹. The particle experiences an acceleration in the x direction, given by aₓ= 4ms⁻² What will be the total velocity at any time ?

Correct Answer: (4)
Solution:For x- direction first, Applying the equation of motion, v₁ = u₁ + at

So,

v₁ = 20i + 4i × t = (20 + 4t) × 1  ...(1)

For y direction. acceleration is zero. thus velocity remains constant. v₂ = u₂ × v₂ = - 15j ...(2)

Thus resultant velocity of par-ticle at any time t from equations(1) and (2) is given by: v = v₁ + v₂

So, v = (20 + 4t) × i - 15j  m/s.
