Q.

A particle moves along the x-axis and has its displacement x varying with time t according to the equation x=c0(t22)+c(t2)2 where c0 and c are constants of appropriate dimensions. Then, which of the following statements is correct          [2025]

1 the acceleration of the particle is 2c0  
2 the acceleration of the particle is 2c  
3 the initial velocity of the particle is 4c  
4 the acceleration of the particle is 2(c+c0)  

Ans.

(4)

x=C0(t22)+C(t2+44t)

v=dxdt=2tC0+2C(t2)

a=dvdt=2C0+2C
