CBSE Class 11-science Answered
A particle travels in a straight line, such that for a short time 2s≤t≤6s, its motion is described by v=(4/a) m/s, where a is in m/s 2 . If v =8m/s when t = 2s, determine the particle's acceleration when t = 4s.

Expert Answer
Velocity v = ( 4/a ) m /s ....................... (1)
where a = acceleration in m/s2
Hence we get , v × a = v × (dv/dt) = 4
v × dv = 4 dt
By integrating both sides of above expression, we get
(1/2) v2 = 4 t + C ........................(2)
where C is integration constant
If we apply initial condition , at t = 2 , v = 8 to above expression, we get C = 24
hence , eqn.(2) is rewritten as v2 = 8t + 48 .................... (3)
velocity at t = 4 s is calculated from eqn.(3) as , v = 4√5 m/s
Acceleration at t = 4 is calculated from eqn.91) as , a = 4 / ( 4√5 ) = ( 1 / √5 ) m/s2
