Solution


It is given that, the distance s described by a particle in t seconds is given by s=aet+bet.

The acceleration of the particle at time t is given by d2sdt2.

s=aet+bet

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

dsdt=ddtaet+bet

dsdt=ddtaet+be-t

dsdt=aet+be-t×-1

dsdt=aet-be-t

Again differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

ddtdsdt=ddtaet-be-t

d2sdt2=aet-be-t×-1

d2sdt2=aet+bet = s

Thus, the acceleration of the particle at time t is aet+bet.


The distance s described by a particle in t seconds is given by s=aet+bet. Then the acceleration of the particle at time t is equal to aet+bet .
