An object,initially moving in the negative x-direction,is subjected to a change in velocity in the positive y-direction.If the resulting velocity vector is drawn from the origin,into which quadrant does this vector point? A)1^st B)2^nd C)3^rd D)None,since the object is now moving in the y-direction.

Since the object was initially moving in the negative x-direction and then experienced a change in velocity in the positive y-direction, the resulting velocity vector will be in the second quadrant (positive y-direction, negative x-direction). Therefore, the answer is B.
