NEET 2017 Physics Acceleration MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The x and y co-ordinates of the particle at any time are x = 5t – 2t² and y = 10t respectively, where x and y are in metres and t in seconds. The acceleration of the particle at t = 2s is:

A

0

B

5 m/s²

C

4 m/s²

D

8 m/s²

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The acceleration is the second derivative of position with respect to time. For x: a_x = d²x/dt² = -4 m/s². For y: a_y = d²y/dt² = 0. The resultant acceleration is √(a_x² + a_y²) = 4 m/s².
