[AMU (Engg.) 1999]

• A. Only the position of the particle at time t
• B. Only the direction of motion of the particle at time t
• C. Both the position and direction of motion of the particle at time t
• D. Neither the position of the particle nor its direction of motion at time t

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Both the position and direction of motion of the particle at time t

Both the position and direction of motion of the particle at time t
