The position x of a particle varies with time t as `x = at^(2) -bt^(3)`. For what value of time acceleration is zero?

A

`(2a)/(3b)`

B

`a//b`

C

`(a)/(3b)`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

Here `x=at^(2)-bt^(3)`
`v=(dx)/(dt)=2at-3bt^(2)`
Acceleration =`f=(dv)/(dt)=2a-6bt`
Now when f=0
2a-6bt=0
`2a=6bt` or `t=(a)/(3b)`
