A particle moves in the \(xy \text-\)plane with coordinates varying with time as:
\(x=2+4 t ~;~~ y=3 t+8 t^2\) (\(t\) in seconds).
Which of the following best describes the motion of the particle?
| 1. | uniform motion |
| 2. | uniformly accelerated motion along a straight line |
| 3. | non-uniformly accelerated motion |
| 4. | uniformly accelerated motion along a parabolic path |
