MCQ
A particle moves along $x$-axis as $x=4(t-2)+a(t-2)^2$. Which of the following statements is true?
  • A
    The initial velocity of particle is $4$
  • The acceleration of particle is $2\,a$
  • C
    The particle is at origin at $t=0$
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

Correct option: B.
The acceleration of particle is $2\,a$
b
(b)

$x=4(t-2)+a(t-2)^2$

At $t=0, x=-8+4 a=4 a-8$

$v=\frac{d x}{d t}=4+2 a(t-2)$

At $t=0, \quad v=4-4 a=4(1-a)$

But acceleration, $\frac{d^2 x}{d t^2}=2 a$
