2.Motion in Straight Line
easy
A particle moves along $x$-axis as $x=4(t-2)+a(t-2)^2$. Which of the following statements is true?
A
The initial velocity of particle is $4$
B
The acceleration of particle is $2\,a$
C
The particle is at origin at $t=0$
D
None of the above
Solution
(b)
$x=4(t-2)+a(t-2)^2$
At $t=0, x=-8+4 a=4 a-8$
$v=\frac{d x}{d t}=4+2 a(t-2)$
At $t=0, \quad v=4-4 a=4(1-a)$
But acceleration, $\frac{d^2 x}{d t^2}=2 a$
