Question

B. Point P represents a passenger traveling in a automobile. The velocity and acceleration of P, and äp, respectively, are shown below at a given instant in time. Circle the item below that most accurately describes the motion of P: (a) The speed of P is decreasing and P is turning left. (b) The speed of P is increasing and P is turning left (c) The speed of P is decreasing and P is turning right (d) The speed of P is increasing and P is turning right. (e) There is insufficient information given for answering this question. 300

Explanation / Answer

The speed of P is decreasing because one component of acceleration is in opposite direction of velocity.

And also one component is perpendicular to velocity which will try to rotate the body in right direction so it will turn right to its velocity component.

so option C is correct.
