An auto-rickshaw travels along a path given by the vector 3î + 4ĵ. The magnitude of its acceleration is 10 m/s² directed parallel to its path. The acceleration vector is:

  • A. 6î + 8ĵ
  • B. 30î + 40ĵ
  • C. 10î + 10ĵ
  • D. 10(3î + 4ĵ)

Answer: A) 6î + 8ĵ

Explanation: Unit vector along path = (3î + 4ĵ)/√(3²+4²) = (3î + 4ĵ)/5. Acceleration vector = Magnitude × Unit vector = 10 × (3î + 4ĵ)/5 = 2(3î + 4ĵ) = 6î + 8ĵ.
