    The displacements of a particle varies with time \[t\,as\,x=a{{e}^{-at}}+b{{e}^{Bt}},\] where \[a,b,\alpha \] and \[\] an positive constants. The velocity of the particle will

    A) go on decreasing with time

    B) be independent of \[\alpha \] and \[\]

    C) drop to zero when \[\alpha \] = \[\]

    D) go on increasing with time

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[x=a{{e}^{-\alpha t}}+b{{e}^{\beta t}}\] So, velocity \[v=\frac{dx}{dt}\] \[=-a\alpha {{e}^{-\alpha t}}+b\beta {{e}^{\beta t}}\] \[=A+B\] where,      \[A=-a\alpha {{e}^{-\alpha t}},\]          \[B=b\beta {{e}^{\beta t}}\] The value of term \[A=-\,a\alpha {{e}^{-\alpha t}}\] at decreases and of term \[B=b\beta {{e}^{\beta t}}\] increases with increase in time. As a result, velocity goes on increasing with time.
