The position of a particle moving in the xy-plane at any time is given by x = ( 3 t 2 6 t ) metres, y = ( t 2 2 t ) metres. Select the correct statement about the moving particle from the following
A) The acceleration of the particle is zero at t = 0 second
B) The velocity of the particle is zero at t = 0 second
C) The velocity of the particle is zero at t = 1 second
D) The velocity and acceleration of the particle are never zero

The correct answer is C: The velocity of the particle is zero at t = 1 second
v x = d x d t = d d t ( 3 t 2 6 t ) = 6 t 6. At t = 1 , v x = 0
v y = d y d t = d d t ( t 2 2 t ) = 2 t 2. At t = 1 , v y = 0
Therefore, v = v x 2 + v y 2 = 0
