    The displacement of a particle in time t is given by \[s=2{{t}^{2}}-3t+1\]. The acceleration is

    A)            1

    B)            3

    C)            4

    D)            5

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[s=2{{t}^{2}}-3t+1;\,\,\,\therefore \frac{ds}{dt}=v=4t-3\]            At \[t=0{{\left( \frac{ds}{dt} \right)}_{t.0}}=-3={{v}_{1}}\]            Now, at \[t=1\], we get \[{{\left( \frac{ds}{dt} \right)}_{t=1}}=4-3=1={{v}_{2}}\]            Hence rate of velocity \[={{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}}=1-(-3)=4\]            Aliter : Given that \[s=2{{t}^{2}}-3t+1\]            \[\frac{ds}{dt}=4t-3\](velocity), Again \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}s}{d{{t}^{2}}}=4\](acceleration).
