At , a particle has a velocity towards east. Its acceleration is constant and directed towards west. Let and denote the magnitude of displacements in the first seconds and the subsequent seconds, respectively.
Options
- AThe provided information is insufficient to decide the relation between and .
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A. The provided information is insufficient to decide the relation between and .
Step-by-step solution
Let the initial velocity be towards east and the constant acceleration be towards west. Taking east as the positive direction, the velocity is and acceleration is .
The displacement of the particle at time is given by .
The magnitude of displacement in the first seconds is:
The magnitude of displacement in the subsequent seconds is:
Comparing and for different values of and :
Case 1: If and , and . Here, .
Case 2: If and , and . Here, .
Case 3: If and , and . Here, .
Since the relation between and depends on the specific values of initial velocity and acceleration, the provided information is insufficient to determine a unique relation.
