A particle moving along X-axis has acceleration f,at time t given by f=fₒ(1- t/T), where fₒ and T are constants. The particle’s velocity (vₓ) is

Options

(a) fₒT
(b) (1/2)fₒT²
(c) fₒT²
(d) (1/2)fₒT

Correct Answer:

(1/2)fₒT

Explanation:

Acceleration, f = dv/dt = f₀[1-(t/T)]
dv = f₀[1-(t/T)]dt —–(i)
On integrating Equation (i) both sides, we get
.·. v = f₀t – (f₀/T)(t²/2)dt + C —–(ii)
After applying boundery conditions v = 0 at t = 0, we get
Therefore, C = 0
v = f₀t – (f₀/T)(t²/2)dt —–(iii)
As, f = f₀[1-(t/T)]
When, f = 0,t = T
Substituting, t = T in Equation (iii), then velocity
vₓ = f₀T – (f₀/T)(T²/2)
= f₀T – (1/2)f₀T = (1/2)fₒT
