2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
The displacement of a particle after time $t$ is given by $x = \left( {k/{b^2}} \right)\left( {1 - {e^{ - bt}}} \right)$ where $b$ is a constant. What is the acceleration of the particle?
A
$k{e^{ - bt}}$
B
$-k{e^{ - bt}}$
C
$\frac{k}{{{b^2}}}{e^{ - bt}}$
D
$\frac{-k}{{{b^2}}}{e^{ - bt}}$
Solution
$x=\frac{k}{b^{2}}\left(1-e^{-b t}\right)$
$\frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{k}{b} e^{-b t}, \frac{d^{2} x}{d t^{2}}=-k e^{-b t}$
