The initial velocity of a particle is uu (at t=0t = 0) and the acceleration ff is given by atat. Which of the following relations is valid?

A

v=u+at2v = u + at^2

B

v=u+at22v = u + \frac{at^2}{2}

C

v=u+atv = u + at

D

v=uv = u

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Definition of Acceleration: Acceleration ff is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time: f=dvdtf = \frac{dv}{dt} .
  2. Given Condition: The acceleration is given as a function of time: f=atf = at.
  3. Integration: To find the velocity vv at time tt, we integrate the acceleration function with respect to time: uvdv=0tfdt=0tatdt\int_{u}^{v} dv = \int_{0}^{t} f \, dt = \int_{0}^{t} at \, dt Here, the limits of integration for velocity are from initial velocity uu to final velocity vv, and for time from 00 to tt.
  4. Solving the Integral: vu=a[t22]0tv - u = a \left[ \frac{t^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{t} vu=12at2v - u = \frac{1}{2} at^2 v=u+at22v = u + \frac{at^2}{2}. Note: The standard equation v=u+atv = u + at applies only to constant acceleration. Since acceleration here depends on time (ftf \propto t), calculus must be used.
