The x and y coordinates of the particle at any time are x = 5 t - 2 t 2 and y = 10 t respectively, where x…

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 is in seconds. The acceleration of the particle at t=2 s is
  1. 0 m s-2
  2. 5 m s-2
  3. -4 m s-2
  4. -8 m s-2

Solution

x=5t-2t2    y =10t
dxdt=5-4t        dydt=10 
The velocity of the particle in x and y coordinate is 

vx=5-4t       vy =10
dvxdt=-4             dvydt=10
 
ax= -4       ay=0
Acceleration of particle at t=2 s is =-4 m/s2
