The position vector of a particle changes with time according to the relation,
\(\vec{r}(t)=(15 t^2) \hat{i}+\left(4-20 t^2\right) \hat{j},\) where \(\vec{r}(t)\) is in metres and \(t\) is in seconds.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration at \(t=1\) second?  
1. \(100\) m/s2 2. \(40\) m/s2
3. \(50\) m/s2 4. \(25\) m/s2

When a car is at rest, its driver sees rain drops falling on it vertically. When driving the car with speed \(v,\) he sees that rain drops are coming at an angle \(60^\circ \) from the horizontal. On further increasing the speed of the car to \((1+\beta)v ,\) this angle changes to \(45^\circ.\) The value of \(\beta \) is close to:
1. \(0.41\)
2. \(0.50\)
3. \(0.37\)
