JEE Main 2024 — 5 April, Shift 2 — Question 37

A particle moves in x-y plane under the influence of a force F⃗\vec{F} such that its linear momentum is

P→(t)=i^cos⁡(kt)−j^sin⁡(kt)\overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}}(\mathrm{t})=\hat{\mathrm{i}} \cos (\mathrm{kt})-\hat{\mathrm{j}} \sin (\mathrm{kt}). If k is constant, the angle between F→\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} and P→\overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}} will be :

  1. Option A:

    π2\frac{\pi}{2}

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    π6\frac{\pi}{6}

  3. Option C:

    π4\frac{\pi}{4}

  4. Option D:

    π3\frac{\pi}{3}

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

P→=cos⁡(kt)i^−sin⁡(kt)j^;∣P→∣=1\quad \overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}}=\cos (\mathrm{kt}) \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\sin (\mathrm{kt}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} ;|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}}|=1

∵P→=mv→\because \overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}}=\mathrm{m} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}

∴P^=V^\therefore \hat{\mathrm{P}}=\hat{\mathrm{V}}

⇒v^=cos⁡(kt)i^−sin⁡(kt)j^\Rightarrow \hat{\mathrm{v}}=\cos (\mathrm{kt}) \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\sin (\mathrm{kt}) \hat{\mathrm{j}}

a^=−ksin⁡(kt)i^−kcos⁡(kt)j^k\hat{a}=\frac{-k \sin (k t) \hat{i}-k \cos (k t) \hat{j}}{k}

⇒a^=−sin⁡kti^−cos⁡ktj^\Rightarrow \hat{a}=-\sin k t \hat{i}-\cos k t \hat{j}

∵F^=a^=−sin⁡kti^−cos⁡ktj^\because \hat{F}=\hat{a}=-\sin k t \hat{i}-\cos k t \hat{j}

cos⁡θ=F^⋅P^∣F^∣∣P^∣=−sin⁡ktcos⁡t+sin⁡ktcos⁡t1×1=0\cos \theta=\frac{\hat{\mathrm{F}} \cdot \hat{\mathrm{P}}}{|\hat{\mathrm{F}}||\hat{\mathrm{P}}|}=-\frac{\sin \mathrm{kt} \cos \mathrm{t}+\sin \mathrm{kt} \cos t}{1 \times 1}=0

⇒θ=π2\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{2}
