A particle is moving in the XY plane such that \(x = \left(t^2 -2t\right)\) m, and \(y = \left(2t^2-t\right)\) m, then:

4. | Speed is 3 m/s at t = 1 sec |
A particle moves so that its position vector is given by \(r=\cos \omega t \hat{x}+\sin \omega t \hat{y}\) where \(\omega\) is a constant. Based on the information given, which of the following is true?
1. | Velocity and acceleration, both are parallel to r. |
2. | Velocity is perpendicular to r and acceleration is directed towards the origin. |
3. | Velocity is not perpendicular to r and acceleration is directed away from the origin. |
4. | Velocity and acceleration, both are perpendicular to r. |
A particle moves in space such that:
\(x=2t^3+3t+4;~y=t^2+4t-1;~z=2sin\pi t\)

1. | \(36 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}} \) ms-2 |
2. | \(36 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\pi \hat{\mathrm{k}} \) ms-2 |
3. | \(36 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \) ms-2 |
4. | \(12 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \) ms-2 |
A particle is moving along a curve. Select the correct statement.
1. | If its speed is constant, then it has no acceleration. |
2. | If its speed is increasing, then the acceleration of the particle is along its direction of motion. |
3. | If its speed is decreasing, then the acceleration of the particle is opposite to its direction of motion. |
4. | If its speed is constant, its acceleration is perpendicular to its velocity. |
A particle moving on a curved path possesses a velocity of 3 m/s towards the north at an instant. After 10 s, it is moving with speed 4 m/s towards the west. The average acceleration of the particle is-
1. | 0.25 , 37° south to east |
2. | 0.25 , 37° west to north |
3. | 0.5 , 37° east to north |
4. | 0.5 , 37° south to west |
A particle is moving eastwards with velocity of 5 m/s. In 10 seconds the velocity changes to 5 m/s northwards. The average acceleration in this time is?
1. | Zero |
2. | \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2 \) toward north-west |
3. | \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2 \) toward north-east |
4. | \(\frac{1}{2} m / s^2 \) toward north-west |
