    If the distance s covered by a particle in time t is proportional to the cube root of its velocity, then the acceleration is

    A)  a constant         

    B)  \[\propto {{s}^{3}}\]

    C) \[\propto \frac{1}{{{s}^{3}}}\]                   

    D)         \[\propto {{s}^{5}}\]

    E)  \[\propto \frac{1}{{{s}^{5}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\because \]\[{{s}^{3}}\propto v\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dS}{dt}=k{{s}^{3}}\]                         ?.. (i) \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}s}{d{{t}^{2}}}=3k{{s}^{2}}\frac{ds}{dt}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}s}{d{{t}^{2}}}=3k{{s}^{2}}(k{{s}^{3}})\]  [using Eq. (i)] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}s}{d{{t}^{2}}}=3{{k}^{2}}{{s}^{5}}\] \[\therefore \]From above it is clear that acceleration of a particle is proportional to 55.
