A particle moving with velocity V change...

A particle moving with velocity V changes its direction of motion by an angle `theta` without change in speed. Which of the following Statement is not correct?

A

The magnitude of the change in its velocity is `2vsin(theta//2)`.

B

The change in the magnitude of its velocity is zero.

C

The change in its velocity makes an angle `(pi//2+theta//2)` with its initial direction of motion.

D

The change in velocity is equal to the negative of the resultant of the initial and final velocities.
