Question
Question: The motion of a particle is described by the equation \(x = a + bt^{2}\) where \(a = 15\)cm and \(b ...
The motion of a particle is described by the equation x=a+bt2 where a=15cm and b=3cm. Its instantaneous velocity at time 3 sec will be
A
36 cm/sec
B
18 cm/sec
C
16 cm/sec
D
32 cm/sec
Answer
18 cm/sec
Explanation
Solution
x=a+bt2
∴ v =dtdx=0+2bt
At t = 3sec, v = 2×3×3 = 18cm/sec (As b=3cm)
