The position of an object moving along the x-axis is given by, \(x=a+bt^2\), where \(a=8.5 \) m, \(b=2.5\) ms–2, and \(t\) is measured in seconds. Its velocity at \(t=2.0\) s will be:
1. \(13\) m/s
2. \(17\) m/s
3. \(10\) m/s
4. \(0\)
The displacement \(x\) of a particle varies with time \(t\) as \(x = ae^{-\alpha t}+ be^{\beta t}\), where \(a,\) \(b,\) \(\alpha,\) and \(\beta\) are positive constants. The velocity of the particle will:
1. | \(\alpha\) and \(\beta.\) | be independent of
2. | go on increasing with time. |
3. | \(\alpha=\beta.\) | drop to zero when
4. | go on decreasing with time. |
