MCQ
Velocity of a particle moving along a straight line is given by $v = t^2 -3t -4\,(m/s)$. Find the velocity at the instant when no net force is applicable on particle.......$m/s$
  • A
    $-1.25$
  • B
    $6.25$
  • C
    $1.25$
  • $-6.25$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$-6.25$
d
If Net force is zero, then its acceleration must

be zero at that instant

$v=t^{2}-3 t-4$

$a=\frac{d v}{d t}=2 t-3=0 \Rightarrow t=3 / 2$

at this time

$v=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{2}-3\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)-4$

$=\frac{9}{4}-\frac{9}{2}-4=\frac{-25}{4} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
