2.Motion in Straight Line
medium

A particle located at $x= 0$ at time $ t= 0 $, starts moving along with the positive $x-$direction with a velocity $v$ that varies as $v$ $=$ $\alpha \sqrt x $. The displacement of the particle varies with time as

A

$t^3$

B

$t^2$

C

$t$

D

${t^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

(AIEEE-2006)

Solution

$v=\frac{d x}{d t}=\alpha \sqrt{x}$

$\therefore \frac{d x}{\sqrt{x}}=\alpha d t$

$\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{x}}=\alpha \int d t$

$\therefore 2 x^{1 / 2}=\alpha t$

$\therefore x \propto t^{2}$
