Question:

Two buses P and Q start from a point at the same time and move in a straight line and their positions are represented by XP(t) = αt + βt2 and XQ(t) = ftt2. At what time, both the buses have same velocity?

  • \(\frac{α-f}{1+β}\)
  • \(\frac{α-f}{2(β+1)}\)
  • \(\frac{α-f}{2(1+β)}\)
  • \(\frac{f-α}{2(1+β)}\)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is(D): \(\frac{f-α}{2(1+β)}\)

XP = αt + βt2

XQ = ftt2

VP = α + 2βt

VQ = f – 2t

VP = VQ

⇒ α + 2βt = f – 2t

⇒ \(t=\frac{f-α}{2(1+β)}\).

System of Particles and Rotational Motion

  1. The system of particles refers to the extended body which is considered a rigid body most of the time for simple or easy understanding. A rigid body is a body with a perfectly definite and unchangeable shape.
  2. The distance between the pair of particles in such a body does not replace or alter. Rotational motion can be described as the motion of a rigid body originates in such a manner that all of its particles move in a circle about an axis with a common angular velocity.
  3. The few common examples of rotational motion are the motion of the blade of a windmill and periodic motion.
