2.Motion in Straight Line
medium

A particle moves along $X-$axis as $x = 4(t - 2) + a{(t - 2)^2}$ Which of the following is true ?

AThe initial velocity of particle is $4$
BThe acceleration of particle is $2a$
CThe particle is at origin at $t = 0$
DNone of these

Solution

(b) $x = 4(t – 2) + a{(t – 2)^2}$
At $t = 0,\,x = – 8 + 4a = 4a – 8$
$v = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 4 + 2a(t – 2)$
At $t = 0,\;\;v = 4 – 4a = 4(1 – a)$
But acceleration,$a = \frac{{{d^2}x}}{{d{t^2}}} = 2a$
