Two particles move along x axis. the position of particle 1 is given by x = 6.00t2 + 3.00t + 2.00 (in meters and seconds); the acceleration of particle 2 is given by a = -8.00t ( in meters per second squared and seconds) and, at t = 0, its velocity is 19 m/s. When the velocities of the particles match, what is their velocity?
1
Particle 1 x = 6.t2+3t+2
So, to find velocity we need to differentiate
As slope of x - t graph is velocity
⇒ dxdt = v = 12t + 3 .......(1)
Particle 2 a = - 8t
Acceleration if a = dvdt=−8t
Rate of change = ∫dv=∫−8tdt
It's given that at t = 0 velocity of particle is 19 m/s
So at time t let velocity be v
So limits are
∫v19 dv =∫t0−8tdt
v]v19=−8t22]t0
v = 19 - 4t2
v = −4t2+19 .......... (2)
Let's assume at time t0 , the velocity of both particles are some so we get
Equation (1) = equation (2)
12t0+3=−4t20+19
4t20+3t0−4=0
(t0+4)(t0−1)=0
t0=−4
So t0=1sec
Since , after motion or t = 0 so t cannot be begative
