$A$ car moves with a speed of $20 \, m/s$ towards the North. It turns and moves with the same speed towards the West. What is the change in velocity?

  • A
    $40 \, m/s \, N-W$
  • B
    $20\sqrt{2} \, m/s \, N-W$
  • C
    $40 \, m/s \, S-W$
  • D
    $20\sqrt{2} \, m/s \, S-W$

Four forces act on a stationary particle at the origin of a coordinate system: $\overrightarrow{F_1} = 3\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 9\hat{k}$,$\overrightarrow{F_2} = 2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 16\hat{k}$,$\overrightarrow{F_3} = 9\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 18\hat{k}$,and $\overrightarrow{F_4} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 18\hat{k}$. In which plane will the particle move under the influence of these forces?
