Q.N.Three particles are placed at the corner ofequilateral triangle having side 'a'. Each particlemoves with constant speed 'y in such a way that 1+2; 2-+3; and 3-1 then after what time they willmeet. |

Answer» Answer: Explanation: Figure above SHOWS the initial DIRECTION of velocities of A, B and C i.e. when A, B,C are at the ends of an equilateral triangle of side 'a' each. The velocity of A is along AB. So, as B moves, then the direction of velocity of A changes continuously towards the direction of B. Similarly, the velocity of B is along BC and velocity of C is along CA. The component of velocity of B along BA = V cos60o = So, the effective SPEED with which A and B approach each other Time taken in reducing the SEPARATION AB from 'a' to zero is Since all three particles A, B and C move with same constant speed v, hence C will also meet A and B at the same time. |
