Homework Statement
I read that if the direction of velocity is perpendicular to the acceleration the magnitude doesn't change and if they are parallel the direction doesn't change and if they are neither both change
but
if we have v1=6i+8j ,|v1|=10 theta with positive x =53
v2 =10j ,|v2|=10 theta with positive=90
delta v = -6i+2j theta with positive=161.5
since the direction of the acceleration is the same direction of the change of velocity
and the magnitude of the velocity didnt change shouldn't delta v be perpendicular to v1
but the angle is 108.5 why is that?
