Displacement time equation of a particle moving along x-axis is
x = 20 + t 3 – 12t (SI Units)
Find, position and velocity of particle at time t = 0.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsCHECK THE SOLUTION
(i) Given, displacement-time equation of a particle P

Velocity of particle at time
can be obtained by differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. time i.e.,

At
(ii) Differentiating Eq. (ii) w.r.t. time t , we get the acceleration,

As acceleration is a function of time, the motion is non-uniformly accelerated.
(iii) Substituting
in Eq. (ii), we have

Positive value of
comes out to be
from this equation. Substituting
in Eq.
(i), we have,
