2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
The distance-time graph of a particle at time $t$ makes angle $45^{\circ}$ with the time axis. After one second, it makes angle $60^{\circ}$ with the time axis. What is the average acceleration of the particle?
A
$\sqrt{3}-1$
B
$\sqrt{3}+1$
C
$\sqrt{3}$
D
$1$
Solution
(a)
$v_i=\text { slope of } s-t \text { graph }=\tan 45^{\circ}=1\,m / s$
$v_f=\text { slope of } s-t \text { graph }=\tan 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3}\,m / s$
Now $\quad a_{ av }=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{1}=(\sqrt{3}-1)$ units
