$A$ particle of mass $M=0.2 \ kg$ is initially at rest in the $xy$-plane at a point $(x=-l, y=-h)$,where $l=10 \ m$ and $h=1 \ m$. The particle is accelerated at time $t=0$ with a constant acceleration $a=10 \ m/s^2$ along the positive $x$-direction. Its angular momentum and torque with respect to the origin,in $SI$ units,are represented by $\vec{L}$ and $\vec{\tau}$,respectively. $\hat{i}, \hat{j}$ and $\hat{k}$ are unit vectors along the positive $x, y$ and $z$-directions,respectively. If $\hat{k}=\hat{i} \times \hat{j}$,then which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ The particle arrives at the point $(x=l, y=-h)$ at time $t=2 \ s$.
