Problem

A particle is moving along a circular path with a constant speed of 10 ms−110 \text{ ms}^{-1}. What is the magnitude of the change in velocity of the particle, when it moves through an angle of 60∘60^\circ around the centre of the circle? (1) 103 m/s10\sqrt{3} \text{ m/s} (2) zero (3) 102 m/s10\sqrt{2} \text{ m/s} (4) 10 m/s10 \text{ m/s}
