    A body starts from the origin and moves along the axis such that the velocity at any instant is given by\[v=4{{t}^{3}}-2t\]where t is in second and the velocity is in\[m/s\]. Find the acceleration of the particle when it is at a distance of \[2m\] from the origin.

    A) \[28m{{s}^{-2}}\]                            

    B) \[22m{{s}^{-2}}\]

    C) \[12m{{s}^{-2}}\]                            

    D) \[10m{{s}^{-2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Velocity                                \[v=4{{t}^{3}}-2t\]                           ... (i)                                 \[\frac{dx}{dt}=4\,\,{{t}^{3}}-2t\] On integration, we get \[x=2={{t}^{4}}-{{t}^{2}}={{\alpha }^{2}}-\alpha \] ? (ii)   \[(if\,\,{{t}^{2}}=\alpha )\]                 \[{{\alpha }^{2}}-\alpha -2=0\]                 \[(\alpha -2)(\alpha +1)=0\]                 \[\alpha =2\] \[\alpha =-1\], which is not possible                 \[{{t}^{2}}=\alpha =2\]or\[t=\sqrt{2}\] Differentiating Eq. (i), w.r.t.\[t\]                 \[\frac{dv}{dt}=12{{t}^{2}}-2\]                 \[\alpha =12\times 2-2=22m{{s}^{-2}}\]
