NEET 2026 Physics Dynamics of a Particle MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

The magnitude and direction of the acceleration produced in a body of mass 5 kg when two mutually perpendicular forces 8 N and 6 N act on it, are respectively:

A

20 m s⁻²; tan⁻¹ (4/3) with 8 N force

B

2 m s⁻²; tan⁻¹ (3/4) with 6 N force

C

2 m s⁻²; tan⁻¹ (4/3) with 8 N force

D

2 m s⁻²; tan⁻¹ (3/4) with 8 N force

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The net force F_net = √(6² + 8²) = 10 N. The acceleration a = F_net/m = 10/5 = 2 m/s². The angle θ = tan⁻¹(3/4) from 8 N.
