MCQ
If the velocity varies parabolically, how does the acceleration vary?
- ALinearly
- BHyperbolically
- CParabolically
- DElliptically
✓
Answer
- Linearly
Explanation:
Velocity varies parabolically implies that velocity is of the form at + bt2. On differentiating the velocity, we get the equation for acceleration.
Therefore, $\text{a}=\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}=\text{a}+2\text{bt},$ which is a linear equation. Hence the acceleration varies linearly.
