JEE · NEET Previous Year Question

The motion of a particle along a straight line is described by equation:
x = 8 + 12 t – where x is in meter and t in second. The retardation of the particle when its velocity becomes zero, is:

Topic: NEET PYQ

Answer: D. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. A24
  2. Bzero
  3. C6
  4. D12

Correct answer: D

Solution

(d) X = 8 +12t –
V = 0+12 –3t2 = 0
3t2 = 12
t = 2sec
= 0 – 6t
a [t = 2] = –12 m/s2
retardation = 12 m/s2
