1. Both will be equal
2. First will be half of second
3. First will be \(1/4\) of second
4. No definite ratio

The acceleration \(a\) in m/s2 of a particle is given by a=3t2+2t+2 where t is the time. If the particle starts out with a velocity, \(u=2\) m/s at t = 0, then the velocity at the end of \(2\) seconds will be:
1. \(12\) m/s
2. \(18\) m/s
3. \(27\) m/s
4. \(36\) m/s
