    The motion of a particle is described as\[s=2-3t+4{{t}^{3}}\]. What is the acceleration of the particle at the point where its velocity is zero?

    A) 0

    B) 4 unit

    C) 8 unit

    D) 12 unit

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Given rule is: Distance, \[s=2-3t+4{{t}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] Velocity \[=\frac{ds}{dt}=-3+12{{t}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] Acceleration \[=\frac{{{d}^{2}}s}{d{{t}^{2}}}=16t\] Since, velocity is zero \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{ds}{dt}=0;\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,0=-3+12{{t}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow t=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{12}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \frac{{{d}^{2}}s}{d{{t}^{2}}}=16t\] Acceleration (when velocity is zero) \[=16\times \frac{1}{2}=8\] unit.
