JEE Main 2024 — 4 April, Shift 1 — Question 47

The co-ordinates of a particle moving in x−yx-y plane are given by : x=2+4t,y=3t+8t2x=2+4 t, y=3 t+8 t^{2}

The motion of the particle is :

  1. Option A:

    non-uniformly accelerated.

  2. Option B:

    uniformly accelerated having motion along a straight line.

  3. Option C:

    uniform motion along a straight line.

  4. Option D:

    uniformly accelerated having motion along a parabolic path.

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

x=2+4t\mathrm{x}=2+4 \mathrm{t}

dxdt=vx=4\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{x}}=4 dvxdt=ax=0\frac{\mathrm{dv}_{\mathrm{x}}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{x}}=0

y=3t+8t2y=3 t+8 t^{2}

dydt=vy=3+16t\frac{d y}{d t}=v_{y}=3+16 t dvydt=ay=16\frac{d v_{y}}{d t}=a_{y}=16

the motion will be uniformly accelerated motion.

For path

x=2+4t\mathrm{x}=2+4 \mathrm{t}

(x−2)4=t\frac{(\mathrm{x}-2)}{4}=\mathrm{t}

Put this value of tt is equation of yy

y=3(x−24)+8(x−24)2\mathrm{y}=3\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}-2}{4}\right)+8\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}-2}{4}\right)^{2}

this is a quadratic equation so path will be parabola.
