MCQ
The motion of a particle is described by the equation $x = a + b{t^2}$ where $a = 15\, cm$ and $b = 3 \,cm/s^2$. Its instantaneous velocity at time $3\, sec$ will be........$cm/sec$
  • A
    $36$
  • $18$
  • C
    $16$
  • D
    $32$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$18$
b
(b) $x = a + b{t^2},\;v = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 2bt$

Instantaneous velocity $v = 2 \times 3 \times 3 = 18\;cm/\sec $
