Ncert Exercises & Solutions

For the one-dimensional motion, described by x = t - sint, the following statements are given.

(a) x(t) > 0 for all t > 0
(b) v(t) > 0 for all t > 0
(c) a(t) > 0 for all t > 0
(d) v(t) lies between 0 and 2

Choose the correct option:

1. (a, c)

2. (b, c)

3. (a, d)

4. (b, d)

(3) Hint: The first derivative of x gives velocity and the first derivative of velocity gives acceleration.

Step 1: Find the velocity and acceleration.

Given,

$\begin{array}{l} x = t - \sin t \\ velocity v = \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} [t - \sin t] \\ = 1 - \cos t \\ Acceleration a = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} [1 - \cos t] = \sin t \end{array}$

Step 2: Put the different values of t to find the correct answer.

As acceleration a > 0 for all t > 0
Hence, x(t) > 0 for all t > 0
Velocity v= 1 - cos t
When cos t = 1, velocity v = 0

$\begin{array}{l} V_{\max} = 1 - (\cos t)_{\min} = 1 - (- 1) = 2 \\ v_{\min} = 1 - (\cos t)_{\max} = 1 - 1 = 0 \end{array}$

Hence, v lies between 0 and 2.

$Acceleration a = \frac{dv}{dt} = - \sin t$

$\begin{array}{l} When t = 0; x = 0, x = + 1, a = 0 \\ When t = \frac{π}{2}; x = 1, v = 0, a = - 1 \\ When t = π; x = 0, x = - 1, a = 1 \\ When t = 2 π; x = 0, x = 0, a = 0 \end{array}$
