Q.
A particle moving along x -axis has acceleration f, at time t, given by f=f0(1−Tt), where f0 and T are constants. The particle at t=0 has zero velocity. In the time interval between t=0 and the instant when f=0, the particle's velocity (vx) is:

Solution:
Given : At time t=0,
velocity, v=0.
Acceleration f=f0(1−Tt)
At f=0,0=f0(1−Tt)
Since f0 is a constant, ∴1−Tt=0
or t=T.
Also, acceleration f=dtdv ∴0∫vxdv=t=0∫t=Tfdt=0∫Tf0(1−Tt)dt ∴vx=[f0t−2Tf0t2]0T =f0T−2Tf0T2=21f0T
