The position vector of a particle varies with time as 
where 
is a constant vector & α is a positive constant then the distance covered during the time interval in which particle returns to its initial position is:
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Velocity of the particle 
So, particle will come to rest when 
, i.e. after time 
Position of particle at this moment
so distance travel = double of the above distance
