MCQ
For the one-dimensional motion, described by $\text{x}=\text{t}-\sin\text{t}.$
  • A
    x (t) > 0 for all t > 0.
  • B
    v (t) > 0 for all t > 0.
  • C
    a (t) > 0 for all t > 0.
  • D
    v (t) lies between 0 and 2.

Answer

  1. x (t) > 0 for all t > 0.
  1. v (t) lies between 0 and 2.

Explanation:

Position of the particle is given as a function of time i.e. $\text{x}=\text{t}-\sin\text{t}$ By differentiating this equation w.r.t. time we get velocity of the particle as a function of time.

Velocity $\text{v}=\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}[\text{t}-\sin\text{t}]=1-\cos\text{t}$

If we again differentiate this equation w,r,t, time we will get will get acceleration of the particle as a function of time.

Acceleration $\text{a}=\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}[1-\cos\text{t}]=\sin\text{t}$

As acceleration a > 0 for all t > 0

Hence, x(t) > 0 for all t > 0

Velocity $\text{v}=1-\cos\text{t}$

When, $\cos\text{t}-1,$ velocity v = 0

$\text{v}_\text{max}=1-(\cos\text{t})_\text{min}=1-(-1)=2$

$\text{v}_\text{min}=1-(\cos\text{t})_\text{max}=1-1=0$

Hence, v lies between 0 and 2.

Acceleration $\text{a}=\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}=-\sin\text{t}$

When t = 0; x = 0, v = 0, a = 0

When $\text{t}=\frac{\pi}{2};$ x = positive, v = 0, a = -1 (negative)

When $\text{t}=2\pi,\text{x}=0,\text{v}=0,\text{a}=0$
