The correct answer is: 32
Given,
Velocity in x-direction is, dxdt=vx=2 m s-1
Velocity in y-direction is, dydt=vy=2 m s-1
Acceleration in x-direction is, d2xdt2=dvxdt=ax=0
Acceleration in y-direction is, d2ydt2=dvydt=ay=a
Trajectory relation, y=4x2
On differentiating trajectory relation, we have
dydt=4×2x×dxdt
vy=8xvx
Again differentiating, we have
dvydt=8xdvxdt+vxdxdt
a=8x×ax+vx×vx
a=8x×0+2×2
a=8×4=32 m s-2
