Consider a particle moving along the positive direction of the $X$-axis. The velocity of the particle is given by $v = \alpha \sqrt{x}$ (where $\alpha$ is a positive constant). At time $t = 0$, the particle is located at $x = 0$. Find the time dependence of the velocity and the acceleration of the particle, respectively.

  • A
    $\frac{\alpha^2}{2} t$ and $\frac{\alpha^2}{2}$
  • B
    $\alpha^2 t$ and $\alpha^2$
  • C
    $\frac{\alpha}{2} t$ and $\frac{\alpha}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\alpha^2}{4} t$ and $\frac{\alpha^2}{4}$
