The correct answer is:
A
Step 1: First, find the velocity functions of both particles by differentiating their position functions with respect to time.
  • For the first particle: x(t) = 10 + 8t - 3t^2
    Thus, v1(t) = dx/dt = 8 - 6t
  • For the second particle: y(t) = 5 - 8t^3
    Thus, v2(t) = dy/dt = -24t^2

Step 2: Substitute t = 1s into both velocity functions:
  • v1(1) = 8 - 6(1) = 2 m/s
  • v2(1) = -24(1)^2 = -24 m/s

Step 3: The relative speed of the second particle as measured in the frame of the first particle is given by v = v2 - v1. Therefore:
  • v = -24 - 2 = -26 m/s

Concluding that the speed of the second particle in the frame of the first particle at t = 1s is -26 m/s.
