MCQ
The displacement x of a particle varies with time according to the relation $\text{x}=\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}(1-\text{e}^{-\text{bt}}).$ The:
  • A
    At  $t=\frac{1}{\text{b}},$ the displacement of the particle is nearly $\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big).$
  • B
    The particle cannot reach a point at a distance $x$ from its starting position if $\text{x}>\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}.$
  • C
    The velocity and acceleration of the particle at $ t = 0$ are $a$ and $-ab$ respectively.
  • The particle will come back to its starting point as $\text{t}\rightarrow\infty.$

Answer

Correct option: D.
The particle will come back to its starting point as $\text{t}\rightarrow\infty.$
$a. $ $\text{At t}=\frac{1}{\text{b}},$ the displacement of the particle is nearly $\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big).$
$b. $ The particle cannot reach a point at a distance x from its starting position if $\text{x}>\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}.$
$c. $ The velocity and acceleration of the particle at $t = 0$ are $a$ and $-ab$ respectively.
