A particle has a velocity u towards east at t = 0. Its acceleration is towards west and is constant. Let xAand xB be the magnitude of displacements in the first 10 seconds and the next 10 seconds
(a) xA < xB
(b) xA = A
(c) XA > XB
(d) the information is insufficient to decide the relation of xA with xB.

Best answer

(d) the information is insufficient to decide the relation of xA with xB.

Explanation:

Magnitude of displacement depends up on initial velocity, time Duration and acceleration. In this case only time is known while magnitude of initial velocity and acceleration is unknown. These two displacements could only be comparable if directions of initial velocity and acceleration had been the same. Since in this case directions are opposite, their magnitudes need to be known, So there is not sufficient information.
