  • A
    The acceleration of the particle is zero at $t = 0$ second
  • B
    The velocity of the particle is zero at $t = 0$ second
  • The velocity of the particle is zero at $t = 1$ second
  • D
    The velocity and acceleration of the particle are never zero
Answer
Correct option: C.
The velocity of the particle is zero at $t = 1$ second
c
(c) ${v_x} = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = \frac{d}{{dt}}(3{t^2} - 6t) = 6t - 6$.

At $t = 1,\;{v_x} = 0$

${v_y} = \frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = \frac{d}{{dt}}({t^2} - 2t) = 2t - 2$.

At $t = 1,\;{v_y} = 0$

Hence $v = \sqrt {v_x^2 + v_y^2} = 0$

Answer
Correct option: C.
$\sqrt {52} \,km$ and ${\tan ^{ - 1}}(5)$
c
(c) Net movement along $x-$direction $Sx = (6 -4) cos 45^o $ $\hat i$

$ = 2 \times \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\, = \,\sqrt 2 \,km$

Net movement along y-direction $Sy = (6 + 4) sin 45^o $$\hat j$ $ = 10 \times \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} = 5\sqrt 2 \,km$

Net movement from starting point

$|\overrightarrow S |\, = \sqrt {{S_x}^2 + {S_y}^2} $$ = \sqrt {{{\left( {\sqrt 2 } \right)}^2} + {{\left( {5\sqrt 2 } \right)}^2}} $=$\sqrt {52} \,\,km$

Angle which makes with the east direction

$\tan \theta = \frac{{{\rm{Y}} - {\rm{component}}}}{{{\rm{X}} - \,{\rm{component}}}}$ $ = \frac{{5\sqrt 2 }}{{\sqrt 2 }}$ $\therefore \theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(5)$
