(N/A) One-dimensional motion: The motion of a train moving along a straight track is an example of one-dimensional motion,as it requires only one coordinate to specify its position at any time.
Two-dimensional motion: The motion of a striker on a carrom board is an example of two-dimensional motion,as the striker moves in a plane and requires two coordinates $(x, y)$ to specify its position.
Three-dimensional motion: The motion of a fish swimming in water or a bird flying in the sky is an example of three-dimensional motion,as it requires three coordinates $(x, y, z)$ to specify its position at any given time.

$A$ body starts from rest from the origin with an acceleration of $6 \; m/s^2$ along the $x$-axis and $8 \; m/s^2$ along the $y$-axis. Its distance from the origin after $4 \; s$ will be (in $; m$)

At time $t = 0$,a particle starts travelling from a height of $7 \, \text{cm}$ along the $z$-axis in a plane,keeping the $z$-coordinate constant. At any instant of time,its positions along the $x$ and $y$ directions are defined as $x = 3t$ and $y = 5t^3$ respectively. What will be the acceleration of the particle at $t = 1 \, \text{s}$?

$A$ man moves in the $x-y$ plane along the path shown. At what point is his average velocity vector in the same direction as his instantaneous velocity vector? The man starts from point $P$.

The position coordinates of a particle moving in a $3-D$ coordinate system are given by $x = a \cos \omega t$,$y = a \sin \omega t$,and $z = a \omega t$. The speed of the particle is:

Two particles $A$ and $B$ are moving in the $XY$-plane. Their positions vary with time $t$ according to the relations:
$x_A(t) = 3t, \quad x_B(t) = 6$
$y_A(t) = t, \quad y_B(t) = 2 + 3t^2$
What is the distance between the two particles at $t = 1$?
