The displacement of a particle, moving in a straight line, is given by s=2t2+2t+4s = 2t^2 + 2t + 4 where ss is in metres and tt in seconds. The acceleration of the particle is:

A

2 m/s²

B

4 m/s²

C

6 m/s²

D

8 m/s²

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Velocity (vv): Instantaneous velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time (v=dsdtv = \frac{ds}{dt}) . Given s=2t2+2t+4s = 2t^2 + 2t + 4. Differentiating with respect to tt: v=ddt(2t2+2t+4)=4t+2v = \frac{d}{dt}(2t^2 + 2t + 4) = 4t + 2.
  2. Acceleration (aa): Instantaneous acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time (a=dvdta = \frac{dv}{dt}) . Differentiating vv with respect to tt: a=ddt(4t+2)=4a = \frac{d}{dt}(4t + 2) = 4.
  3. Result: The acceleration is constant at 4 m/s24 \text{ m/s}^2.
