Question

a particle has a magnitude of u towards east at t=0 .its acceleration is towards west and is const. let Xa and Xb be the magnitude of the displacements in first 10 sec. and the next 10 sec. then

  1. Xab
  2. X a=Xb
  3. XaXb
  4. data is insufficient

Solution

let the acceleration be a. Since it is acting in a direction opposite to the motion of the particletherefore it is convinient to take it as -anow, from second equation of motion:Xa = u×10 + 12×(-a)×102Xa = 10u - 50a ------- (1)now, velocity of the particle after the first 10 secondsfrom first equation of motion:v= u +atv= u-10athis velocity will act as the initial velocity of the particle for the next 10 secondsnow, from second equation of motion:Xb = u-10a×10 + 12 (-a)×102Xb = 10 u -100a -50aXb = 10u - 150a ----- (2)comparing equation (1) and equation (2),Xa > Xb
