The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the change in velocity and the change in speed of a particle moving on a circular path with constant speed as it moves from point A to point B, which subtends an angle of 60 degrees at the center of the circle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion**: - The particle is moving in a circular path with constant speed \( v \). - The angle subtended at the center of the circle by points A and B is \( 60^\circ \). 2. **Change in Speed**: - Since the particle is moving with constant speed, the magnitude of its speed does not change. - Therefore, the change in speed \( \Delta v \) is: \[ \Delta v = 0 \] 3. **Finding the Velocity Vectors**: - Let’s denote the position of point A as \( A \) and the position of point B as \( B \). - The velocity vector at point A, \( \vec{V_A} \), can be represented as: \[ \vec{V_A} = v \hat{i} \] - At point B, the direction of the velocity vector changes due to circular motion. The angle between the radius to point A and the radius to point B is \( 60^\circ \). 4. **Calculating the Components of Velocity at Point B**: - The velocity vector at point B, \( \vec{V_B} \), can be broken down into components: - The horizontal component (x-direction) is: \[ V_{B_x} = v \cos(60^\circ) = v \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{v}{2} \] - The vertical component (y-direction) is: \[ V_{B_y} = v \sin(60^\circ) = v \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] - Since point B is below the x-axis, the vertical component will be negative: \[ \vec{V_B} = \frac{v}{2} \hat{i} - v \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{j} \] 5. **Finding the Change in Velocity**: - The change in velocity \( \Delta \vec{V} \) from A to B is given by: \[ \Delta \vec{V} = \vec{V_B} - \vec{V_A} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \Delta \vec{V} = \left( \frac{v}{2} \hat{i} - v \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{j} \right) - (v \hat{i}) \] \[ = \left( \frac{v}{2} - v \right) \hat{i} - v \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{j} \] \[ = -\frac{v}{2} \hat{i} - v \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{j} \] 6. **Calculating the Magnitude of Change in Velocity**: - The magnitude of \( \Delta \vec{V} \) is: \[ |\Delta \vec{V}| = \sqrt{\left(-\frac{v}{2}\right)^2 + \left(-v \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{\frac{v^2}{4} + \frac{3v^2}{4}} = \sqrt{v^2} = v \] ### Final Results: - The change in speed is \( 0 \). - The magnitude of change in velocity is \( v \). ### Summary: - Change in speed: \( 0 \) - Change in velocity: \( v \)
