Kinematics Question 591

Question: A particle crossing the origin of co-ordinates at time t = 0, moves in the xy-plane with a constant acceleration a in the y-direction. If it’s equation of motion is y = bx2 (b is a constant), it’s velocity component in the x-direction is

Options:

A) 2ba

B)a2b

C) ab

D)ba

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] y = bx2 . Differentiating w.r.t to t an both

dydx=b2xdxdtvy=2bxvx

Again differentiating w.r.t to t on both sides we get

dvydt=2bvxdxdt+2bxdvxdt=2bvx2+0

dvxdt=0,

because the particle had constant acceleration along y-direction

Now, dvydt=a=2bvx2;

vx2=a2b

vx=a2b
