Question

An ant crawls on the floor along the curved path shown in the figure below. (Assume that the ant's initial motion is parallel to the y-axis and its final motion is parallel to the x-axis.) When the ant is at the location marked by the blue spot, what arrow best represents the direction of the ant's instantaneous velocity? y (m) v0.110 m/s 0.350- v 0.110 m/s 0.150 x (m) 0.100 0.410 A) B) C) D) O D

Answer 1

Instantaneous velocity is along tangent to the path. At the blue spot the tangent would point in the direction given by C,

Hence, correct option is C.
