The displacement of a particle, moving in a straight line, is given by s=2t2+2t+4 where s is in metres and t 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
Velocity (v): Instantaneous velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time (v=dtds) .
Given s=2t2+2t+4.
Differentiating with respect to t:
v=dtd(2t2+2t+4)=4t+2.
Acceleration (a): Instantaneous acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time (a=dtdv) .
Differentiating v with respect to t:
a=dtd(4t+2)=4.
Result: The acceleration is constant at 4 m/s2.
