a

The position coordinate of particle are (1/2, 1/4)

b

The velocity of particle will be along the line 4x-4y-1=0.

c

The magnitude of velocity at that instant is 42 m/s

d

The magnitude of angular momentum of particle about origin at that position is 0.

answer is D.

Detailed Solution

On the curve, y=x2; at x=1/2,y=1/4.

Hence the coordinate (1/2,1/4)

Differentiating : y=x2

vy=2xvx

vy=212(4)=4m/s

Which satisfies the line 4x4y1=0

(tangent to the curve)
and magnitude of velocity :

|v|=vx2+vy2=42m/s

As the line 4x4y=1 does not pass through the origin.
