Correct answer: A, C
Step-by-step solution:
The problem provides the mass of a body, its initial conditions (at rest at the origin), and the force acting on it as a function of time. We need to evaluate four statements about its motion and the torque acting on it at .
Given:
- Mass of the body,
- Initial position,
- Initial velocity,
- Applied force, , with and .
- So, .
1. Find the acceleration of the body: Using Newton's second law, .
2. Find the velocity of the body: Velocity is the integral of acceleration with respect to time. We use the initial condition .
3. Find the position of the body: Position is the integral of velocity with respect to time. We use the initial condition .
4. Calculate quantities at and evaluate the options:
At :
- Position vector:
- Force vector:
Evaluation of Option A and B: The torque about the origin is given by . At : Since , , , and :
- Option A: The magnitude of the torque is . This statement is true.
- Option B: The direction of the torque is along the vector, not the vector. This statement is false.
Evaluation of Option C: At , the velocity is: Factoring out :
- Option C: The velocity of the body at is . This statement is true.
Evaluation of Option D: The displacement of the body at is . The magnitude of the displacement is .
- Option D: The magnitude of displacement is . This is incorrect, as it is . This statement is false.
Conclusion: The true statements are A and C.
