Acceleration of particle moving rectilin...

Acceleration of particle moving rectilinearly is `a = 4-2x`(where x is position in metre and a in ms^(-2))`. It si at instantaneous rest at x = 0. At what position `x 9`in meter) will the particle again come to instantaneous rest?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the position \( x \) where the particle comes to instantaneous rest again, given the acceleration function \( a = 4 - 2x \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between acceleration, velocity, and position**: The acceleration \( a \) can be expressed in terms of velocity \( v \) and position \( x \) using the chain rule: \[ a = v \frac{dv}{dx} \] Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ v \frac{dv}{dx} = 4 - 2x \] 2. **Separate variables**: Rearranging gives us: \[ v \, dv = (4 - 2x) \, dx \] 3. **Integrate both sides**: We will integrate the left side with respect to \( v \) and the right side with respect to \( x \): \[ \int v \, dv = \int (4 - 2x) \, dx \] The left side integrates to: \[ \frac{v^2}{2} \] The right side integrates to: \[ 4x - x^2 + C \] where \( C \) is the constant of integration. 4. **Combine the results**: Thus, we have: \[ \frac{v^2}{2} = 4x - x^2 + C \] 5. **Determine the constant \( C \)**: We know that at \( x = 0 \), the particle is at instantaneous rest, which means \( v = 0 \). Substituting these values into the equation: \[ 0 = 4(0) - (0)^2 + C \implies C = 0 \] Therefore, the equation simplifies to: \[ \frac{v^2}{2} = 4x - x^2 \] 6. **Find when the particle comes to rest again**: The particle comes to rest when \( v = 0 \): \[ 0 = 4x - x^2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 - 4x = 0 \] Factoring out \( x \): \[ x(x - 4) = 0 \] This gives us two solutions: \[ x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 4 \] 7. **Conclusion**: The particle comes to instantaneous rest again at \( x = 4 \) meters. ### Final Answer: The particle will again come to instantaneous rest at \( x = 4 \) meters.

To solve the problem, we need to find the position \( x \) where the particle comes to instantaneous rest again, given the acceleration function \( a = 4 - 2x \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between acceleration, velocity, and position**: The acceleration \( a \) can be expressed in terms of velocity \( v \) and position \( x \) using the chain rule: \[ a = v \frac{dv}{dx} ...
