Questions  

The x and y coordinates of the particle at any time are x = 5t - 2t2 and y = 10t respectively, where x and y are in metres and t in seconds. The acceleration of the particle at t = 2 is

a
5 ms-2
b
-4 ms-2
c
-8 ms-2
d
0

detailed solution

Correct option is B

x=5t-2t2,  y=10tdxdt=5-4t,  dydt=10  ∴  vx=5-4t,  vy=10dvxdt=-4,  dvydt=0  ∴  ax=-4,  ay=0 Acceleration, a→=axi^+ayj^=-4i^∴ The acceleration of the particle at t=2 s is -4 ms-2
