Correct answer: B

  1. The position coordinates are given by x=lpha t^3, \qquad y=\beta t^3

  2. Velocity components are the time derivatives of the coordinates: vx=dxdt=3αt2v_x=\frac{dx}{dt}=3\alpha t^2vx​=dtdx​=3αt2 vy=dydt=3βt2v_y=\frac{dy}{dt}=3\beta t^2vy​=dtdy​=3βt2

  3. The speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector: v=vx2+vy2v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}v=vx2​+vy2​​

  4. Substitute the components: v=(3αt2)2+(3βt2)2v=\sqrt{(3\alpha t^2)^2+(3\beta t^2)^2}v=(3αt2)2+(3βt2)2​ =9α2t4+9β2t4=\sqrt{9\alpha^2 t^4+9\beta^2 t^4}=9α2t4+9β2t4​ =9t4(α2+β2)=\sqrt{9t^4(\alpha^2+\beta^2)}=9t4(α2+β2)​ =3t2α2+β2=3t^2\sqrt{\alpha^2+\beta^2}=3t2α2+β2​

  5. Compare with the options:

    • A: 3tα2+β23t\sqrt{\alpha^2+\beta^2}3tα2+β2​  Incorrect
    • B: 3t2α2+β23t^2\sqrt{\alpha^2+\beta^2}3t2α2+β2​  Correct
    • C: t2α2+β2t^2\sqrt{\alpha^2+\beta^2}t2α2+β2​  Incorrect
    • D: α2+β2\sqrt{\alpha^2+\beta^2}α2+β2​  Incorrect

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
