The displacement $x$ of a particle varies with time $t$ as $x = a e^{-\alpha t} + b e^{\beta t}$,where $a, b, \alpha, \text{and } \beta$ are positive constants. The velocity of the particle will:

  • A
    Go on decreasing with time
  • B
    Be independent of $\alpha$ and $\beta$
  • C
    Drop to zero when $\alpha = \beta$
  • D
    Go on increasing with time

$A$ particle starts from rest and undergoes an acceleration as shown in the figure. The velocity-time graph from the figure will have which shape?

Difficult
View Solution

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is constrained to move on the $x$-axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example,when the particle is to the left of $E$,$F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F_0$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards the left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0$. The velocity-time graph of the particle is:
