JEE Main & Advanced Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Motion in a Plane

  • question_answer
    The coordinates of a particle moving in x-y plane at any instant of time t are \[\text{x = 4}{{\text{t}}^{\text{2}}}\text{; y = 3}{{\text{t}}^{\text{2}}}\]. The speed of the particle at that instant is

    A) 10 t 

    B)        5 t 

    C) 3 t                   

    D)        2 t

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] According to the question, at any instant t, \[x=4{{t}^{2}},\text{ }y=3{{t}^{2}}\]
    \[\therefore {{\text{v}}_{x}}=\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left( 4{{t}^{2}} \right)=8t\]
    \[\text{and }{{\text{v}}_{y}}=\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left( 3{{t}^{2}} \right)=6t\]\[\text{and }{{\text{v}}_{y}}=\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left( 3{{t}^{2}} \right)=6t\]
    The speed of the particle at instant t..
    \[\text{v}\,\text{=}\,\sqrt{\text{v}_{\text{x}}^{\text{2}}\text{+v}_{\text{y}}^{\text{2}}}\,\text{=}\,\sqrt{{{\left( \text{8t} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{+}{{\left( \text{6t} \right)}^{\text{2}}}}\text{=10}\,\text{t}\]
