The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given displacement equation and evaluate the provided options to identify the false statement. ### Given: The displacement \( x \) of a particle varies with time according to the relation: \[ x = \frac{a}{b} (1 - e^{-bt}) \] ### Step 1: Evaluate Option A **Option A:** At \( t = \frac{1}{b} \), displacement is nearly equal to \( \frac{2}{3} \frac{a}{b} \). **Solution:** Substituting \( t = \frac{1}{b} \) into the displacement equation: \[ x = \frac{a}{b} \left(1 - e^{-b \cdot \frac{1}{b}}\right) = \frac{a}{b} \left(1 - e^{-1}\right) \] Using the approximation \( e^{-1} \approx 0.3679 \): \[ x \approx \frac{a}{b} \left(1 - 0.3679\right) \approx \frac{a}{b} \cdot 0.6321 \approx \frac{2}{3} \frac{a}{b} \] Thus, Option A is **true**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Option B **Option B:** The velocity and acceleration of the particle at \( t = 0 \) are respectively \( a \) and \( -ab \). **Solution:** 1. **Velocity**: \[ v = \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{a}{b} \cdot b e^{-bt} = a e^{-bt} \] At \( t = 0 \): \[ v = a e^{0} = a \] 2. **Acceleration**: \[ a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -ab e^{-bt} \] At \( t = 0 \): \[ a = -ab e^{0} = -ab \] Thus, Option B is **true**. ### Step 3: Evaluate Option C **Option C:** The particle cannot reach a point at a distance \( x' \) from the starting point when \( x = \frac{a}{b} \). **Solution:** As \( t \to \infty \): \[ x = \frac{a}{b} (1 - e^{-bt}) \to \frac{a}{b} (1 - 0) = \frac{a}{b} \] Thus, the particle can reach \( x = \frac{a}{b} \). Therefore, Option C is **false**. ### Step 4: Evaluate Option D **Option D:** The particle will not come back to its starting point when \( t \to \infty \). **Solution:** As \( t \to \infty \), the displacement approaches: \[ x \to \frac{a}{b} \] The particle does not return to the starting point (which is \( x = 0 \)). Thus, Option D is **true**. ### Conclusion The false alternative is **Option C**: The particle cannot reach a point at a distance \( x' \) from the starting point when \( x = \frac{a}{b} \).

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given displacement equation and evaluate the provided options to identify the false statement. ### Given: The displacement \( x \) of a particle varies with time according to the relation: \[ x = \frac{a}{b} (1 - e^{-bt}) \] ...
