Q124 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (06 Aug Shift 2) · Physics

The acceleration of a particle is increasing linearly with time $t$ as $6 t$. The particle starts from the origin with an initial velocity $10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The distance travelled by the particle after $2 \mathrm{~s}$ will be

  • A
    18 m
  • Correct answer
    B
    44 m
  • C
    22 m
  • D
    26 m

Solution

Acceleration of the particle, $a=6 t$ Initial velocity, $u=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ Let the distance travelled after $t=2 \mathrm{~s}$ is $s$. $$ \begin{aligned} \therefore \quad s & =\left(u \cdot t+\frac{1}{2} a t^2\right) \\ & =\left(10 t+\frac{1}{2} \times 6 t \times t^2\right) \\ & =10 \times 2+\frac{6}{2} \times 2^3 \\ s & =20+24=44 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned} $$ $\left({ }^*\right)$ None option is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
