The motion of a particle of mass \(m\) is described by \(y=u t+g t^{2}\). The force acting on the particle will be

  1. A zero
  2. B \(4 \mathrm{mg}\)
  3. C \(3 \mathrm{mg}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{mg}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \mathrm{mg}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The displacement of the particle is given by \(y = ut + gt^2\). The velocity \(v\) is the first derivative of displacement with respect to time \(t\): \(v = \dfrac{dy}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(ut + gt^2) = u + 2gt\). The acceleration \(a\) is the derivative of velocity with respect…
