    The equation of motion of a particle moving along a straight line is \[s=2\]\[{{t}^{3}}-9{{t}^{2}}+12t\], where the units of s and t are cm and sec. The acceleration of the particle will be zero after

    A)            \[\frac{3}{2}\,sec\]

    B)            \[\frac{2}{3}sec\]

    C)            \[\frac{1}{2}sec\]

    D)            Never

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\frac{ds}{dt}=6{{t}^{2}}-18t+12\]                    Again\[\frac{{{d}^{2}}s}{d{{t}^{2}}}=12t-18\]= acceleration                    If acceleration becomes zero, then \[0=12t-18\]                    Þ \[t=\frac{3}{2}\sec .\]Hence acceleration will be zero after \[\frac{3}{2}\]sec.
