A particle of mass m moves on the x-axis as follows: It starts from rest at r= 0 from the pointr=0, and come to rest at 1 at the point x = 1. The velocity changes lincarly with time. No other information is available about its motion at intermediate times [ 0 lt t lt 1] . If alpha denotes the instantaneous acceleration of the particle , then

Answer»

`alpha` cannot remain positive for all t in the interval 0 to 1
`|alpha|` cannot exceed 2 at any point in its PATH
`|alpha|` must be `gt` 4 some point or points in its path
`alpha`must change sign during the motion, but no other assertion can be made with the given information.

Solution :Givenx=1 , `t_(2)=1 `
S= Area under velocity -time graph
`V_("MAX")=(1)/(2)xxV_("max")xxt_(2)`

`IMPLIES V_("max") =(2x)/(t_(2))=2 m//s`
`:. alpha =(V_("max"-4))/(t_(2)/(2))=(2-0)/((1)/(2))=4 m//s^(2)`
`:.`In some post or points `|alpha| gt 4`.
