A particle moves with a uniform speed v in a circle of radius R.
The x−component of the average velocity of the particle in a half revolution will be (at final position as shown in figure)
Why this Question? Tip: Average velocity is a vector quantity and in problems asking for vavg, be very careful about the direction of displacement during a given time interval. Bottom line: The direction of displacement can be represented by + & − sign for a single direction i.e., x or y− direction. |
