Velocity, Acceleration & Variable Motion

The co-ordinates of a moving particle at any time 't' are given by x = α\alphat3 and y = βt3. The speed of the particle at time 't' is given by

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. vx=dxdt=3αt2v_x = \dfrac{dx}{dt} = 3\alpha t^2, vy=dydt=3βt2v_y = \dfrac{dy}{dt} = 3\beta t^2
  2. Speed =vx2+vy2=3t2α2+β2= \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2} = 3t^2\sqrt{\alpha^2 + \beta^2}
  3. So the answer is (b) 3t2α2+β23t^2\sqrt{\alpha^2 + \beta^2}.
