The displacement of particle is given by x=a_0+(a_1 t)/(2)-(a_2...
The displacement of particle is given by
What is its acceleration?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- DZero
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea : Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity and velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
The displacement equation is given by
Velocity = rate of change of displacement
ie, Acceleration = rate of change of velocity
$i e$,\begin{aligned} a & =\frac{d v}{d t} \\ & =\frac{d}{d t}\left(\frac{a_1}{2}-\frac{2 a_2}{3} t\right) \\ & =0-\frac{2 a_2}{3} \\ & =-\frac{2 a_2}{3}\end{aligned}$$
