The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and equations related to kinematics. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between acceleration and velocity We are given that the acceleration \( a \) of the particle is defined as: \[ a = \sqrt{v} \] where \( v \) is the velocity of the particle. ### Step 2: Relate acceleration to velocity Acceleration can also be expressed as the derivative of velocity with respect to time: \[ a = \frac{dv}{dt} \] Thus, we can equate the two expressions for acceleration: \[ \frac{dv}{dt} = \sqrt{v} \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation for integration Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ \frac{dv}{\sqrt{v}} = dt \] This can be rewritten as: \[ v^{-\frac{1}{2}} dv = dt \] ### Step 4: Integrate both sides Now we will integrate both sides. The left side will be integrated with respect to \( v \), and the right side will be integrated with respect to \( t \): \[ \int v^{-\frac{1}{2}} dv = \int dt \] ### Step 5: Perform the integration The integral of \( v^{-\frac{1}{2}} \) is: \[ 2v^{\frac{1}{2}} \] And the integral of \( dt \) is: \[ t \] Thus, we have: \[ 2v^{\frac{1}{2}} = t + C \] where \( C \) is the constant of integration. ### Step 6: Determine the constant of integration To find \( C \), we use the initial condition. At \( t = 0 \), the initial velocity \( v_0 = 4 \, \text{m/s} \): \[ 2(4)^{\frac{1}{2}} = 0 + C \] Calculating gives: \[ 2(2) = C \] So, \( C = 4 \). ### Step 7: Substitute back the constant Now substituting \( C \) back into the equation: \[ 2v^{\frac{1}{2}} = t + 4 \] ### Step 8: Solve for velocity \( v \) We need to find the velocity after \( t = 4 \) seconds: \[ 2v^{\frac{1}{2}} = 4 + 4 \] \[ 2v^{\frac{1}{2}} = 8 \] Dividing both sides by 2: \[ v^{\frac{1}{2}} = 4 \] Now squaring both sides gives: \[ v = 16 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The velocity of the particle after 4 seconds is: \[ v = 16 \, \text{m/s} \] ---
