Solution
The correct option is D√α2β ay=α ⇒dvydt=α ⇒vy=∫αdt=αt+constant At t=0, vy=0 ⇒constant=0 ⇒vy=αt ⇒dydt=αt ............(1) ⇒2βxdxdt=αt ⇒2βxvx=αt vx=αt2βx ............(2) From (1) y=∫αtdt=αt22+c′ At t=0, y=0 ⇒c′=0 ⇒y=αt22 βx2=αt22 ⇒t=√2βx2α ....(3) Substituting t from (3) into (2) vx=α√2βx2α2βx=√α2β
