A particle is moving eastwards with a velocity of \(5\ \text{m/s}\). In \(10\) seconds, the velocity changes to \(5\ \text{m/s}\) northwards. The average acceleration in this time is:

1. Zero

2. \(\frac 1{\sqrt2} \ \text{m/s}^2\) toward north-west 

3. \(\frac 1{\sqrt2} \ \text{m/s}^2\) toward north-east

4. \(\frac 1{2} \ \text{m/s}^2\)​​​​​​​ toward north-west
