In a two-dimensional motion, the instantaneous speed of a particle remains constant at a positive value \(v_0.\) Which of the following statements must always be true?

1. The particle has zero acceleration.
2. The particle’s acceleration is increasing.
3. The particle’s acceleration always lies in the plane of motion.
4. The particle necessarily moves in a uniform circular path.

The \(x\) and \(y\) coordinates of the particle at any time are \(x = 5t-2t^2\) and \(y=10t\) respectively, where \(x\) and \(y\) are in metres and \(t\) is in seconds. The acceleration of the particle at \(t=2\) s is:
1. \(0\) m/s2
2. \(5\) m/s2
3. \(-4\) m/s2
4. \(-8\) m/s2

A particle is moving southward with a velocity of \(10\) m/s. In \(4\) s, the velocity changes to \(10\) m/s eastward. The average acceleration of the particle during this time interval is:
1. \(5\sqrt2\) m/s2, directed Southeast (SE)
2. \(\dfrac{5}{\sqrt2}\) m/s2, directed Southeast (SE)
3. \(5\sqrt2\) m/s2, directed Northeast (NE)
4.  \(\dfrac{5}{\sqrt2}\) m/s2, directed Northeast (NE)

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): In projectile motion, both the horizontal and vertical components of acceleration are non-zero.
Reason (R): In projectile motion, both the horizontal and vertical components of velocity remain constant throughout the motion.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

The position vector of a particle \(\vec{r}\) as a function of time \(t\) (in seconds) is \(\vec{r}=(3t) \hat{i}+(2t^2) \hat{j}\) m. The initial acceleration of the particle is:

1. \(2\) m/s2 2. \(3\) m/s2
3. \(4\) m/s2 4. \(\mathrm{zero}\)
