A particle starts from rest and moves along the x -axis with a velocity that varies as v = 100+4 x ~ms ⁻¹ . The acceleration of the particle is:
Options
- A2 m s⁻²
- B5 m s⁻²
- C25 ~ms ⁻²
- D4 m s⁻²
Correct answer
A. 2 m s⁻²
Step-by-step solution
Given the velocity v = 100 + 4x . The acceleration a of a particle moving in one dimension is given by a = v dv dx . Differentiating v = (100 + 4x)^ 1/2 with respect to x : dv dx = 1 2 (100 + 4x)^ -1/2 4 = 2 100 + 4x . Substituting v and dv dx into the expression for acceleration: a = 100 + 4x 2 100 + 4x . a = 2 ms ⁻² . Answer: 2 m s⁻²
