Three forces start acting simultaneously on a particle moving with velocity $\vec{v}.$ These forces are represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle $ABC$ (as shown). The particle will now move with velocity

  • A
    $\vec{v}$ remaining unchanged
  • B
    Less than $\vec{v}$
  • C
    Greater than $\vec{v}$
  • D
    $\vec{v}$ in the direction of the largest force $BC$
