A particle moves on a given straight line with a constant speed v. At a certain time it is at a point P on its straight lline path.O is a fixed point. Show than `vec(OP)xxvec upsilon` is independent of the position P.?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `vec(v)=v hat(i)` & `vec(OP)=xhat(i)+yhat(j)=xhat(i)+dhat(j)`

so `vec(OP)xxvec(v)=(xhat(i)+dhat(j))xxvhat(i)=-dvhat(k)`
(d= is constant)
which is independent of position.
