Solution

The correct option is C

-4m/sec2


Given

x=5t2t2

y=10t

On differentiating, we get,

dx/dt=54t

dy/dt=10
ax=d2xdt2=-4......................1ay=d2ydt2=0.........................2

Adding equations (1) and (2), we get,

a=ax+ay

a=-4+0

a=-4

Hence, the acceleration of the particle att=2s is -4m/s2
