Question

Starting form rest a particle is first accelerated for time t1 with constant acceleration a1 and then stops in time t2 with constant retardation a2. Let v1 be the average velocity in this case and s1 be the total displacement. In the second case, it is accelerated for the same time t1 with constant acceleration 2a1 and comes to rest with constant retardation a2 in time t3. If v2 is the average velocity in this case and s2 the total displacement. Then

Solution

The correct options are
A v2=2v1
D 2s1<s2<4s1
Let us take vt curve here, as it gives acceleration as well as displacement.
For case 1:
So, we have a1=Vmaxt1 and a2=Vmaxt2
from above two we can say that Vmax=a1t1=a2t2.....(i)
Also, s1= Area under the curve =12×Vmax×(t1+t2)
As average velocity for this case is given as v1
v1=s1t1+t2=12×Vmax×(t1+t2)(t1+t2)
v1=Vmax2=a1t12=a2t22....(ii)

For case 2:
So, we have 2a1=Vmaxt1 and a2=Vmaxt3
from above two we can say that Vmax=2a1t1=a2t3....(iii)
On putting the value of a2=a1t1t2 from eq (i) into eq (iii) we get
t3=2t2....(iv)
Also, s2= Area under the curve =12×Vmax×(t1+t3)
As average velocity for this case is given as v2
v2=s2t1+t3=12×Vmax×(t1+t3)(t1+t3)
v2=Vmax2
v2=2a1t12=a1t1
Also, v2=a2t32=2a2t22=a2t2
So, combindly we can write it as
v2=Vmax2=a1t1=a2t2.....(v)
Now, from eq (ii) and (v), we can say that v2=2v1

Also, checking for other relation we have
s1=12×Vmax×(t1+t2)=12×a1t1×(t1+t2)
or, 2s1=a1t1(t1+t2)
and, s2=12×Vmax×(t1+t3)=12×2a1t1×(t1+t3)
or, s2=a1t1(t1+2t2)
Therefore, from above two findings we can say that 2s1s2 rather, 2s1<s2 as the value of s2 is greater by t2 compared to 2s1.
Also, 4s1=2×2s1=2a1t1(t1+t2)>s2
Thus, we can say that 2s1<s2<4s1
