Question:

The position vector of a particle changes with time according to the relation \(\vec r(t)=15t^2\hat i+(4-20t^2)\hat j\). What is the magnitude of the acceleration at \(t=1\) ?

Show Hint

Differentiate \(\vec r\) twice with respect to \(t\).

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

\(\vec v=\frac{d\vec r}{dt}=30t\,\hat i-40t\,\hat j\).
\(\vec a=\frac{d\vec v}{dt}=30\,\hat i-40\,\hat j\) (constant, independent of \(t\)).
\(|\vec a|=\sqrt{30^2+40^2}=\sqrt{2500}=50\).
