Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

The coordinates of a moving particle at any time $‘t’$ are given by $ x = \alpha t^3$ and $y = \beta t^3$. The speed of the particle at time $‘t’$ is given by

A

$\sqrt {{\alpha ^2} + {\beta ^2}} $

B

$3\,t\sqrt {{\alpha ^2} + {\beta ^2}} $

C

$3\,{t^2}\sqrt {{\alpha ^2} + {\beta ^2}} $

D

${t^2}\sqrt {{\alpha ^2} + {\beta ^2}} $

The coordinates of a moving particle at any time $‘t’$ are given by $ x = \alpha t^3$ and $y = \beta t^3$. The speed of the particle at time $‘t’$ is given by

$x = \alpha {t^3}$ and $y = \beta {t^3}$(given)

${v_x} = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 3\alpha {t^2}$ and ${v_y} = \frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = 3\beta {t^2}$

Resultant velocity $ = v = \sqrt {v_x^2 + v_y^2} = 3{t^2}\sqrt {{\alpha ^2} + {\beta ^2}} $
