A particle is moving in one dimension (along xx axis) under the action of a variable force. It's initial position was 16 m16 \mathrm{~m} right of origin. The variation of its position (x)(x) with time (t)(t) is given as x=−3t3+18t2+16tx=-3 t^3+18 t^2+16 t , where xx is in m\mathrm{m} and t\mathrm{t} is in s\mathrm{s} .

The velocity of the particle when its acceleration becomes zero is _________ m/s\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

  • Position (x): The particle's location on the x-axis at a given time.

  • Velocity (v): The rate of change of position with respect to time

( v=dxdtv = \frac{dx}{dt} ).

  • Acceleration (a): The rate of change of velocity with respect to time

( a=dvdta = \frac{dv}{dt} ).

The particle's position is given by:

x(t)=−3t3+18t2+16t

We need to find the velocity when the acceleration is zero.

  1. Find the Velocity (v) and Acceleration (a) Functions:

  • Velocity:

v(t)=dxdt=−9t2+36t+16

  • Acceleration:

a(t)=dvdt=−18t+36

  1. Find the Time (t) When Acceleration is Zero:

a(t)=0

−18t+36=0

t=2 seconds

  1. Calculate the Velocity at t = 2 seconds:

v(2)=−9(2)2+36(2)+16

v(2)=52 m/s

Answer:

The velocity of the particle when its acceleration becomes zero is 52 m/s.
