Motion In One Dimension Question 1

Question 1 - 2024 (01 Feb Shift 1)

A particle is moving in one dimension (along $x$ axis) under the action of a variable force. It’s initial position was $16 m$ right of origin. The variation of its position $(x)$ with time $(t)$ is given as $x=-3 t^{3}+18 t^{2}+16 t$, where $x$ is in $m$ and $t$ is in $s$. The velocity of the particle when its acceleration becomes zero is $m / s$.

Answer: (52)

Solution:

$x=3 t^{3}+18 t^{2}+16 t$

$\mathbf{v}=-9 t^{2}+36+16$

$a=-18 t+36$

$a=0$ at $t=2 s$

$v=-9(2)^{2}+36 \times 2+16$

$v=52 m / s$
