A particle starts from rest at and moves along the -axis with acceleration (SI units, in metres). The maximum speed it reaches is
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D.
.
.
.
.
.
- Step 1: Express acceleration in terms of position and velocity using :
- Step 2: Integrate both sides from rest ( at ) up to position :
- Step 3: Maximum speed occurs when acceleration is zero: . Substituting :
