JEE Main & Advanced Physics Motion in a Straight Line / सरल रेखा में गति Question Bank Topic Test - One Dimensional Motion

  • question_answer
    If the velocity \[\upsilon \] of a particle moving along a straight line decreases linearly with its displacement S is \[20\,\,m{{s}^{-1}}\] to a value approaching to zero at \[S=30\,m,\] then acceleration of the particle at \[S=15\text{ }m,\] is

    A) \[\frac{2}{3}m{{s}^{-2}}\]

    B) \[-\frac{2}{3}m{{s}^{-2}}\]

    C) \[\frac{20}{3}m{{s}^{-2}}\]

    D) \[-\frac{20}{3}m{{s}^{-2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Slope of line \[=-\frac{2}{3}\]
    Equation of line is \[(V-20)=-\frac{2}{3}(S-0)\]  
    \[\Rightarrow \]            \[v=20-\frac{2}{3}S\] ...(i)
    Velocity at S =15 m,
    i.e.,      \[v={{\left. \frac{dS}{dt} \right|}_{S=15m}}=20-\frac{2}{3}(15)=10\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]
    Differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. time,
    Acceleration \[=\frac{dv}{dt}=-\frac{2}{3}\frac{ds}{dt}\]
    \[\therefore \]    \[{{\left. \frac{dv}{dt} \right|}_{S=15m}}=-\frac{2}{3}{{\left. \frac{dS}{dt} \right|}_{S=15m}}=-\frac{20}{3}\text{m}{{\text{s}}^{-2}}\]
