The position of a particle moving in the $xy$-plane at any time $t$ is given by $x = (3t^2 - 6t) \text{ m}$ and $y = (t^2 - 2t) \text{ m}$. Select the correct statement about the moving particle from the following:

  • A
    The acceleration of the particle is zero at $t = 0 \text{ s}$.
  • B
    The velocity of the particle is zero at $t = 0 \text{ s}$.
  • C
    The velocity of the particle is zero at $t = 1 \text{ s}$.
  • D
    The velocity and acceleration of the particle are never zero.
