Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sin \,t\, - \,\frac{1}{2}\,\sin \,2t\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know,

\(F=m a \Rightarrow a \propto F\)
or, \(a \propto \sin t\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{d v}{d t} \propto \sin t\)
\(\Rightarrow \int_{0}^{0} d V \propto \int_{0}^{t} \sin t d t\)
\(V \propto-\cos t+1\)
\(\int_{0}^{x} d x=\int_{0}^{t}(-\cos t+1) d t\)
\(x=\sin t-\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 t\)
