The x and y coordinates of the particle at any time are x=2t2 and y=10t respectively, where x and y are in meters and t in seconds. The acceleration of the particle at t=2sec is (in m/s2)

Solution
Given: x=2t2,y=10t
We know that, ax=d2xdt2=d(d(2t2)dt)dt=d(4t)dt=4
Similarly, ay=d2ydt2=d(d(10t)dt)dt=d(10)dt=0
So, we have →a=ax^i+ay^j=4^i+0^j=4^i
Thus, a=4m/s2 along positive x−axis
Hence, option (A) is correct.
