Two paricles A and B start simultaneously from the same point and move in a horizontal plane. A has an initial velocity `u_(1)` due east and acceleration `a_(1)` due north. B has an intial velocity `u_(2)` due north and acceleration `a_(2)` due east.

A

Their paths must intersect at some point

B

They must collide at some point

C

They will collide only if `a_1u_1=a_2u_2`

D

If `u_1 gt u_2` and `a_1 lt a_2`, the particles will have the same speed at some point of time

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of two particles A and B moving in a horizontal plane with given initial velocities and accelerations, we can break down the solution step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion of Particle A:** - Particle A starts with an initial velocity \( u_1 \) due east and has an acceleration \( a_1 \) due north. - The displacement of particle A after time \( t \) can be expressed using the equation of motion: \[ \vec{S_A} = u_1 \hat{i} t + \frac{1}{2} a_1 \hat{j} t^2 \] - Here, \( \hat{i} \) represents the eastward direction and \( \hat{j} \) represents the northward direction. 2. **Understanding the Motion of Particle B:** - Particle B starts with an initial velocity \( u_2 \) due north and has an acceleration \( a_2 \) due east. - The displacement of particle B after time \( t \) can be expressed as: \[ \vec{S_B} = u_2 \hat{j} t + \frac{1}{2} a_2 \hat{i} t^2 \] 3. **Setting Up the Displacement Equations:** - For particle A: \[ \vec{S_A} = u_1 t \hat{i} + \frac{1}{2} a_1 t^2 \hat{j} \] - For particle B: \[ \vec{S_B} = \frac{1}{2} a_2 t^2 \hat{i} + u_2 t \hat{j} \] 4. **Finding Conditions for Intersection:** - For the paths of particles A and B to intersect, their displacements must be equal at some time \( t \): \[ u_1 t = \frac{1}{2} a_2 t^2 \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ \frac{1}{2} a_1 t^2 = u_2 t \quad \text{(2)} \] 5. **Dividing the Equations:** - From equations (1) and (2), we can divide them to eliminate \( t \): \[ \frac{u_1 t}{\frac{1}{2} a_2 t^2} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} a_1 t^2}{u_2 t} \] - Simplifying gives: \[ \frac{u_1}{\frac{1}{2} a_2 t} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} a_1 t}{u_2} \] - This leads to: \[ \frac{u_1}{u_2} = \frac{a_2}{a_1} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ u_1 a_1 = u_2 a_2 \quad \text{(3)} \] 6. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Option 1:** Their paths must intersect at some point - **Correct** (as derived). - **Option 2:** They must collide at some point - **Incorrect** (they will collide only if \( u_1 a_1 = u_2 a_2 \)). - **Option 3:** If \( u_1 > u_2 \) and \( a_1 < a_2 \), they will have the same speed at some point - **Correct** (from the relationship derived). ### Final Conclusion: The correct options are that their paths must intersect at some point, and if \( u_1 > u_2 \) and \( a_1 < a_2 \), they will have the same speed at some point.
