A particle of unit mass undergoes one­ dimensional motion such that its velocity varies according to $ v(x)= \beta {x^{ - 2n}}$, where $\beta$ and $n$ are constants and $x$ is the position of the particle. The acceleration of the particle as a function of $x$, is given by

A motorist starting a car from rest accelerates uniformly to a speed of $v\, m/s$ in $9\, seconds$. He maintains this speed for another $50\, seconds$ and then applies the brakes and decelerates uniformly to rest. His deceleration is numberically equal to three times his previous acceleration. Then the time during which the deceleration takes place is ..........$s$ :-

A body is at rest at $x=0$. At $t=0$, it starts moving in the positive $x-$ direction with a constant acceleration. At the same instant another body passes through $x=0$ moving in the positive $x$ direction with a constant speed. The position of the first body is given by $x_{1} (t)$ after time $t$ and that of the second body by $x_{2}(t)$ after the same time interval. Which of the following graphs correctly describe $\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)$ as a function of time $t$?

Refer to the graph in figure. Match the following

Graph Characteristics
$(A)$ $(i)$ has $v > 0$ and $a < 0$ throughout
$(B)$ $(ii)$ has $x > 0,$ throughout and has a point with $v = 0$ and a point with $a = 0$
$(C)$ $(iii)$ has a point with zero displacement for $t > 0$
$(D)$ $(iv)$ has $v < 0$ and $a > 0$

The displacement $x$ of a particle along a straight line at time $t$ is given by $x = {a_0} + {a_1}t + {a_2}{t^2}$. The acceleration of the particle is
