The distance travelled by a particle is proportional to the squares of time, then the particle travels with:

A

Uniform acceleration

B

Uniform velocity

C

Increasing acceleration

D

Decreasing velocity

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Mathematical Relationship: Given that the distance (ss) is proportional to the square of time (t2t^2), we can express this as s=kt2s = kt^2, where kk is a constant.
  2. Velocity: The instantaneous velocity (vv) is the first derivative of distance with respect to time (v=dsdtv = \frac{ds}{dt}). Differentiating s=kt2s = kt^2, we get v=2ktv = 2kt.
  3. Acceleration: The acceleration (aa) is the rate of change of velocity (a=dvdta = \frac{dv}{dt}). Differentiating v=2ktv = 2kt, we get a=2ka = 2k.
  4. Conclusion: Since kk is a constant, 2k2k is also a constant. This implies the acceleration is uniform (constant) throughout the motion. This aligns with the kinematic equation for a body starting from rest (u=0u=0): s=12at2s = \frac{1}{2}at^2, where st2s \propto t^2 .
