The displacement of a particle is given by y=a+bt+ct2−dt4. The initial velocity and acceleration are, respectively:
A
b,−4d
B
−b,2c
C
b,2c
D
2c,−2d
Step-by-Step Solution
Velocity (v): Instantaneous velocity is defined as the derivative of displacement with respect to time (v=dtdy) .
Given y=a+bt+ct2−dt4.
Differentiating with respect to t:
v=dtd(a+bt+ct2−dt4)v=0+b+2ct−4dt3.
Initial Velocity: At t=0, substitute t=0 into the velocity equation:
vinitial=b+2c(0)−4d(0)=b.
Acceleration (acc): Instantaneous acceleration is defined as the derivative of velocity with respect to time (acc=dtdv) .
Differentiating v with respect to t:
acc=dtd(b+2ct−4dt3)acc=0+2c−12dt2.
Initial Acceleration: At t=0, substitute t=0 into the acceleration equation:
accinitial=2c−12d(0)=2c.
Conclusion: The initial velocity is b and the initial acceleration is 2c.
