Question
Question: The velocity of a particle at an instant is \(10 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) . After 3 s its velocity ...
The velocity of a particle at an instant is 10 ms−1 . After 3 s its velocity will becomes 16 ms−1 . The velocity at 2 s, before the given instant will be
A
6 ms−1
B
4 ms−1
C
2 ms−1
D
1 ms−1
Answer
6 ms−1
Explanation
Solution
Here, u =10 ms−1 , t = 3 s , v = 16m S−1
a=tv−u=316−10=2 ms−2
Now velocity at 2s, before the given instant
10=u+2×2 (∵v=u+at)
∴y=6 ms−1
