Question Details

The relation 3t = √(3x) + 6 describes the displacement of a particle in one direction where x is in metres and t in sec. The displacement, when velocity is zero, is

Options

A

24 metres

B

12 metre

C

5 metre

D

Zero

Correct Answer :

Zero

Solution :

The correct option is Zero.

We are given the relation between the displacement x (in metres) and the time t (in seconds):
3t=3x+6
We need to determine the displacement of the particle when its velocity is zero.

First, we isolate the square root term containing the displacement x:
3x=3t-6
Next, squaring both sides of the equation gives:
3x=3t-62
Expanding the right side, we get:
3x=9t2-36t+36
Dividing the entire equation by 3, we obtain the expression for displacement as a function of time:
x=3t2-12t+12

Velocity v is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time, which is the derivative of x with respect to t:
v=dxdt=ddt3t2-12t+12
Differentiating term by term:
v=6t-12

To find the time t when the velocity is zero, we set v=0:
6t-12=0
6t=12
t=2 seconds

Now, we substitute t=2 back into our displacement equation to find the displacement at this instant:
x=322-122+12
x=34-24+12
x=12-24+12
x=0 metres

Therefore, the displacement of the particle when the velocity is zero is Zero.
