Correct Answer: 2

Solution and Explanation

We know that,
\(\vec F = m\vec a\)
Where,
\(\vec a = 100\hat i+50\hat j\)
So,
\(\vec s = \frac {1}{2\vec a}t^2\)
\(\vec s = \frac 12(100\hat i+50\hat j)2^2\)
\(\vec s = 200\hat i+100\hat j\  m\)
Hence, \(a = 200\ m\) and \(b = 100\ m\)
Now, \(\frac ab = \frac {200}{100} = 2\)
So, the answer is \(2\).

Concepts Used:

Motion in a straight line

The motion in a straight line is an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called in motion. It is a change in the position of an object over time. It is nothing but linear motion. 

Types of Linear Motion:

Linear motion is also known as the Rectilinear Motion which are of two types:

  1. Uniform linear motion with constant velocity or zero acceleration: If a body travels in a straight line by covering an equal amount of distance in an equal interval of time then it is said to have uniform motion.
  2. Non-Uniform linear motion with variable velocity or non-zero acceleration: Not like the uniform acceleration, the body is said to have a non-uniform motion when the velocity of a body changes by unequal amounts in equal intervals of time. The rate of change of its velocity changes at different points of time during its movement.
