Q41 / 126 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Motion In Two Dimensions

The x and y coordinates of a particle at any time t are given by x= 2t+4t2 and y= 5t , where x and y are in metre and t in second. The acceleration of the particle at t= 5 s is -

  • A
    40 m s-2
  • B
    20 m s-2
  • Correct answer
    C
    8 m s-2
  • D
    Zero

Solution

Considering the motion of particle in x and y direction.

vx=dxdt=2+8t

And ax=dvxdt=8

vy=dydt=5

And ay=dvydt=0

a=ax2+ay2

a=82+0=  8 m s-2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
