A particle moves along a straight line O...

A particle moves along a straight line OX. At a time t(in second), the distance x (in metre) of the particle from O is given by
`x = 40 + 12t - t^(3)`
How long would the particle travel before coming to rest ?

A

24m

B

40m

C

56m

D

16m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Distance travelled by the particle is `x=40+12t-t^(3)` We know that, speed is defined as the rate of change of distance i.e.,
`upsilon=(dx)/(dt)`
`therefore upsilon=(d)/(dt)(40+12t-t^(3))=0+12-3t^(2)`
But final velocity, `upsilon = 0`
`therefore 12-3t^(2)=0rArr t^(2)=(12)/(3)=4 rArr t=2s`
Hence, distance travelled by the particle before coming to rest is given by
`x=40+12(2)-(2)^(3)=40+24-8=64-8=56m`
