A bus is moving on a straight road towards north with a uniform speed of turns through anticlockwise. If the speed remains unchanged after turning , the increase in the velocity of bus in the turning process is:

The angle made by with the axis is

When two right-angled vectors of magnitude combine, what is the magnitude of their resultant?

The magnitude of the vector sum of two vectors is found to be equal to the sum of their magnitudes.

A car travels at an average speed of . After travelling east for it turns and travels north for then east again for . Find its displacement.

If then determine magnitude of .

A bus is going due north at a speed of . It makes left turn without changing its speed. The change in the velocity of the bus is
