Three forces start acting simultaneously on a particle moving with velocity v . These forces are represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle A BC taken in order. The particle will now move with velocity:

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

According to the triangle law of vector addition, if three vectors are represented by the sides of a triangle taken in the same order, their resultant is zero.Since F_{n e t} = 0, by Newton's first law, there is no acceleration. Thus, the velocity remains unchanged.

Try it yourself before checking the explanation above.

Three forces start acting simultaneously on a particle moving with velocity v . These forces are represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle A BC taken in order. The particle will now move with velocity:

less than v

greater than v

v in the direction of the largest force BC

v remaining unchanged
