Q.

A particle is moving along x-axis with its position (x) varying with time (t) as x=αt4+βt2+γt+δ. The ratio of its initial acceleration, respectively, is     [2024]

1 2α:δ  
2 γ:2δ  
3 4α:β  
4 γ:2β  

Ans.

(4)

Given, position, (x)=αt4+βt2+γt+δ

Velocity, (v)=dxdt=4αt2+2βt+γ

Initial velocity, v (at t=0)=γ                                            ...(i)

Acceleration, (a)=dvdt=12αt2+2β

Initial acceleration, a (at t=0)=2β                                   ...(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii)

v(0)a(0)=γ2β=γ:2β
