Kinematics Question 362

Question: A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate α for some time, after which it decelerates at a constant rate β and comes to rest. If the total time elapsed it’s t, then the maximum velocity acquired by the car it’s

Options:

A) (α2+β2αβ)t

B) (α2β2αβ)

C) (α+β)tαβ

D) αβtα+β

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

In fig., A.A1=vmax.

=αt1=βt2

But t=t1+t2=Vmaxα+Vmaxβ

=vmax(1α+1β)=vmax(α+βαβ)

or,vmax=t(αβα+β)
