401.

Find the unit vector in the direction of (-5i + 12j).

A.

113(5i12j)

B.

113(5i12j)

C.

113(5i+12j)

D.

113(5i+12j)

Correct answer is C

The unit vector ˆn=r|r|

\hat{n} = \frac{-5i + 12j}{\sqrt{(-5)^{2} + (12)^{2}}

= 5i+12j13

402.

The functions f and g are defined on the set, R, of real numbers by f:xx2x6 and g:xx1. Find fg(3)

A.

-8

B.

-6

C.

-4

D.

-3

Correct answer is C

f:xx2x6; g:xx1

g(3)=31=2

f(g(3))=f(2)=2226=426=4

403.

Given that q=9i+6j and r=4i6j, which of the following statements is true?

A.

r and q are collinear

B.

r and q are perpendicular

C.

The magnitude of r is 52 units

D.

The projection of r on q is 117 units.

Correct answer is B

The dot product of two perpendicular forces = 0

(9i+6j).(4i6j)=3636=0

Hence, r and q are perpendicular.

404.

A particle starts from rest and moves in a straight line such that its velocity, v, at time t seconds is given by v=(3t22t)ms1. Determine the acceleration when t = 2 secs.

A.

4ms2

B.

6ms2

C.

8ms2

D.

10ms2

Correct answer is D

v(t)=(3t22t)ms1

a(t)=dvdt=(6t2)ms2

a(2)=6(2)2=122=10ms2

405.

A particle starts from rest and moves in a straight line such that its velocity, v, at time t seconds is given by v=(3t22t)ms1. Calculate the distance covered in the first 2 seconds.

A.

2m

B.

4m

C.

6m

D.

8m

Correct answer is B

v(t)=(3t22t)ms1

s(t)=v(t)dt

= (3t22t)dt=t3t2

s(2)=2322=84=4m
