Question

Starting from 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 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:

A
v2=2v1

Solution

The correct options are
A v2=2v1
D 2s1<s2<4s1
vt graph for case (1) can be considered as,

Vmax=a1t1=a2t2
s1=Area under v-t graph=12(t1+t2)at1
Vavg=v1=s1(t1+t2)=at12

vt graph for case (2) can be considered as,


s2=Area under v-t graph=12(t1+t3)2at1
Vavg=v2=s2(t1+t3)=at1

v2=2v1
Option A is correct.

s2=(t1+2t2)at1>2s1=(t1+t2)at1
s2=(t1+2t2)at1<4s1=2(t1+t2)at1
So, 2s1<s2<4s1
Option D is correct
