    The displacement x of a particle moving along a straight line at time t is given by \[x={{a}_{0}}+{{a}_{1}}t+{{a}_{2}}{{t}^{2}}\] The acceleration of the particle is:

    A)  \[4{{a}_{2}}\]                                   

    B)  \[2{{a}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[2{{a}_{1}}\]                   

    D)         \[{{a}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Acceleration is known as rate of change of velocity. The given equation is                                 \[x={{a}_{0}}+{{a}_{1}}t+{{a}_{2}}{{t}^{2}}\] First differentiate the above equation with respect to t, to obtain velocity that is, \[v=\frac{dx}{dt}\] (velocity is rate of change of displacement)                 \[\therefore \]  \[v=\frac{dx}{dt}={{a}_{1}}+2{{a}_{2}}t\]                                 \[\left( \text{using}\,\frac{d}{dx}{{x}^{n}}=n\,{{x}^{n-1}} \right)\] Then second differentiation of above equation gives acceleration                 i.e.,        \[a=\frac{dy}{dt}=2{{a}_{2}}\]
