The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of the particle at any instant of time \( t \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the equations of motion The coordinates of the particle are given as: \[ x = 4t^2 \] \[ y = 3t^2 \] ### Step 2: Differentiate the position equations to find velocities To find the velocity in the x-direction (\( v_x \)), we differentiate \( x \) with respect to \( t \): \[ v_x = \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(4t^2) = 8t \] Next, we find the velocity in the y-direction (\( v_y \)) by differentiating \( y \) with respect to \( t \): \[ v_y = \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(3t^2) = 6t \] ### Step 3: Calculate the speed of the particle The speed of the particle is given by the magnitude of the velocity vector, which can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2} \] Substituting the expressions for \( v_x \) and \( v_y \): \[ \text{Speed} = \sqrt{(8t)^2 + (6t)^2} \] Calculating the squares: \[ = \sqrt{64t^2 + 36t^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{100t^2} \] Taking the square root: \[ = 10t \] ### Final Answer Thus, the speed of the particle at any instant of time \( t \) is: \[ \text{Speed} = 10t \text{ meters per second} \] ---
