Question
The instantaneous velocity vector of a particle in two-dimensional motion is always
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
At any point along its trajectory, the direction of a particle's instantaneous velocity is the direction in which it is moving at that instant. This direction is always tangent to the curved path or trajectory of the particle.
Hint
Think of the direction a projectile is moving at the very top of its arc, or the direction a car points as it goes around a curve.
