The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the time when a particle, moving along the positive x-direction with a velocity given by \( v = 40 - 10t \) m/s, is at a distance of 60 m from the origin. The initial position of the particle at \( t = 0 \) is \( x = 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: - The velocity of the particle is given by \( v = 40 - 10t \) m/s. - The initial position \( x(0) = 0 \) m. - We need to find the time \( t \) when the particle is at \( x = 60 \) m. 2. **Identify Initial Conditions**: - The initial velocity \( u = 40 \) m/s (at \( t = 0 \)). - The acceleration \( a \) can be derived from the velocity equation: \[ a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -10 \text{ m/s}^2 \] 3. **Use the Equation of Motion**: - We can use the second equation of motion: \[ S = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \] - Here, \( S = 60 \) m, \( u = 40 \) m/s, and \( a = -10 \) m/s². 4. **Substitute Values into the Equation**: \[ 60 = 40t + \frac{1}{2}(-10)t^2 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 60 = 40t - 5t^2 \] Rearranging the equation: \[ 5t^2 - 40t + 60 = 0 \] Dividing through by 5: \[ t^2 - 8t + 12 = 0 \] 5. **Solve the Quadratic Equation**: - Using the quadratic formula \( t = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \): - Here, \( a = 1, b = -8, c = 12 \): \[ t = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 12}}{2 \cdot 1} \] \[ t = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{64 - 48}}{2} \] \[ t = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{16}}{2} \] \[ t = \frac{8 \pm 4}{2} \] This gives us two possible solutions: \[ t_1 = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \text{ seconds} \] \[ t_2 = \frac{4}{2} = 2 \text{ seconds} \] 6. **Conclusion**: - The particle is at a distance of 60 m from the origin at two different times: \( t = 2 \) seconds and \( t = 6 \) seconds.

To solve the problem, we need to determine the time when a particle, moving along the positive x-direction with a velocity given by \( v = 40 - 10t \) m/s, is at a distance of 60 m from the origin.
