An object, initially moving in the negative x-direction, is subjected to a change in velocity in the positive y-direction. If the resulting velocity vector is drawn from the origin, into which quadrant does this vector point?Select one:a.3rdb.2ndc.1std.None, since the object is now moving in the y-direction.
Question
An object, initially moving in the negative x-direction, is subjected to a change in velocity in the positive y-direction. If the resulting velocity vector is drawn from the origin, into which quadrant does this vector point?Select one:a.3rdb.2ndc.1std.None, since the object is now moving in the y-direction.
Solution
The object was initially moving in the negative x-direction, which means it was moving left on a standard coordinate plane. Then, it experienced a change in velocity in the positive y-direction, which means it moved upwards on the coordinate plane.
When you combine these two movements, the object is moving left and upwards. On a standard coordinate plane, this would place the object in the second quadrant.
So, the answer is b. 2nd quadrant.
