Q.
A particle moving along a straight line has a velocity vms−1, when it cleared a distance of xm. These two are connected by the relation v=49+x. When its velocity is 1ms−1, its acceleration is
Given : v=49+x
Squaring both sides, we get, v2=49+x
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. t, we get ; 2vdtdv=dtdx 2vdtdv=v ; dtdv=21=0.5(∵v=dtdx)
Acceleration, a=dtdv=0.5ms−2
