A particle starts from rest with an acceleration of (3i^+5j^)m/s2. What is its displacement magnitude after 2s?

Displacement r=12at2 (since v0=0). As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 10 m as the result, so option A is correct.

A particle’s position is given by x\=5t−3t2 and y\=4t2 (in meters and seconds). What is its speed at t\=1s?

Velocity: vx=dxdt=5−6t,vy=dydt=8t. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 5 m/s as the result, so option A is correct.
