(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.

$A$ particle initially at the origin starts moving in the $xy$-plane with a velocity component $\vec{V} = (6 + 2t) \hat{i} + (4 + 2\sqrt{3}t) \hat{j} \text{ m/s}$. The acceleration of the particle in $\text{m/s}^2$ is ($x, y$ are measured in meters, $t$ in seconds, respectively).

Position of an ant ($S$ in metres) moving in $Y-Z$ plane is given by $S = 2t^2 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}$ (where $t$ is in seconds). The magnitude and direction of velocity of the ant at $t = 1 \ s$ will be:
