Question
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 meters and t in seconds. The acceleration of the particle at t = 2 s is
-
0
-
5 m/s2
-
-4 m/s2
-
–8 m/s2
Solution
C.
-4 m/s2
x = 5t – 2t2 y = 10t
Acceleration of particle at t = 2 s is = –4 m/s2
