A bird moves from point `(1, -2)` to `(4, 2)` . If the speed of the bird is `10m//sec`, then find the velocity vector of the bird ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`6hat(i)+8hat(j)`
`vec(r)=(4-1)hat(i)+(2+2)hat(j)=3hat(i)+4hat(j)`
`hat(r)=(vec(r))/(|hat(r)|)=(3hat(i)+4hat(j))/(5)`
`vec(v)=|vec(v)| hat(r)=10 ((3hat(i)+4hat(j))/(5))=6hat(i)+8hat(j)`
