The law of motion of a body moving along a straight line is \(x=\frac{1}{2}\) vt. \(x\) being its distance from a fixed point on the line at time \(t\) and \(v\) is its velocity there, Then

  1. A acceleration \(f\) varies directly with \(x\)
  2. B acceleration \(f\) vares inversely with \(x\)
  3. C acceleration \(f\) is constant
  4. D acceleration \(f\) varies directly with t
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) acceleration \(f\) is constant

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\quad x=\frac{1}{2} v t\) \(\Rightarrow \quad x=\frac{1}{2} \frac{d x}{d t} t\) \(\left[\because v=\frac{d x}{d t}\right]\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{2 d t}{t}=\frac{d x}{x}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 2 \cdot \int \frac{d t}{t}=\int \frac{d x}{x}\)…
