A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity 
= 
m/s and a constant acceleration
= (–1.0 
–0.5 
) m/s 2 . Its velocity 
and position vector 
when it reaches its maximum x-co-ordinate are -
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION
(b, c) for x to be maximum
v x = 0 or v x = u x + at or 0 = 3 – 1t or t = 3 sec
⇒ v y = – 0.5 × 3 = –1.5 
or 
=
