A particle starts moving from rest in a straight line with constant acceleration. After time t0, acceleration changes its sign (just opposite to the initial direction), remaining the same in magnitude. Determine the time from the beginning of motion in which the particle returns to the initial postion

Solution

The correct option is B (2+2)t0
Writing, s = ut + 12at2, from point B onwards we have,
12at20=(at0)t12at2

t22t0tt20=0
t=2t0±4t20+4t202
=(t0+2t0)
Total time =tAB+t=(2+2)t0
