NEETPhysicsMotion in A Straight LineMCQ+4 / −1
The motion of a particle along a straight line is described by equation x = 8 + 12t t3 where x is in metre and t in second. The retardation of the particle when its velocity becomes zero is
- A24 m s2
- Bzero
- C6 m s2
- D12 m s2
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Given x = 8 + 12t t3
Velocity, v = = 12 - 3t2
When v = 0, then 12 - 3t2 = 0
t = 2 s
= - 6t
At t = 2 s, = - 12 m/s2
Retardation = 12 m/s2
