JEE Main & Advanced Physics Motion in a Straight Line / सरल रेखा में गति Question Bank Mock Test - Motion in one Dimension

  • question_answer
    An insect moving along a straight line, travels in every second distance equal to the magnitude of time elapsed. Assuming acceleration to be constant, and the insect starts at \[t=0\]. Find the magnitude of initial velocity of insect

    A) \[\frac{3}{2}unit\]         

    B) \[\frac{5}{4}unit\]

    C) \[2\,unit\]          

    D) \[\frac{1}{2}unit\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Distance travelled form time t-1 sec to t sec is \[S=u+\frac{a}{2}(2t-1)\] From given condition S=t (i) and (ii) \[\Rightarrow t=u+\frac{a}{2}(2t-1)\] \[\Rightarrow u=\frac{a}{2}+t(1-a)\] Since u and a are arbitrary constants, and they must be constant for every time. \[\Rightarrow \] coefficient of t must be equal to zero. \[\Rightarrow \]\[1-a=0\Rightarrow a=1\]for \[a=1\], \[u=\frac{1}{2}\]unit Initial speed is \[\frac{1}{2}\]unit.
