The resultant of two equal forces acting at right angles to each other is 1414 N. Find the magnitude of each force? 


Consider the component, A=B = x. 

The forces are acting at right angles to each other. 
That is, 


Resultant, R = 1414 N 

Now,




x is the magnitude of each force.

A particle is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s due cast. In one second its velocity changes to 10 m/s due north. Find the change in the magnitude of velocity.

Here the particle is moving with a constant velocity. Hence, the magnitude of change in velocity is 0.
