BITSAT2009PhysicsMotion in One DimensionActual
A particle starts moving rectilinearly at time t =0 such that its velocity v changes with time t according to the equation v=t²-t where t is in seconds and v is in m / s . Find the time interval for which the particle retards.
Options
- A1 2 < t <1
- B1 2 >t>1
- C1 4 < t <1
- D1 2
Correct answer
A. 1 2 < t <1
Step-by-step solution
Acceleration of the particle a=2 t-1 The particle retards when acceleration is opposite to velocity. a v 0 t 1 . This is not possible or 2 t -1>0 & t -1<0 1 / 2< t <1
