A vehicle moves west with a speed of 50 ms -1 and then towards north with a speed of 50 ms -1 only. Total time taken by the body is 5s. What is the average acceleration of the body?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Change in velocity
= 
∴ ∴ acceleration = change in velocity/time
= 70.7/5 = 14.14 ms -2 .
