Applications Of Derivatives Question 25

Question: The velocity v of a particle at any instant t moving in a straight line is given by v = s + 1 where s metre is the distance travelled in t second. What is the time taken by the particle to cover a distance of 9m-

Options:

A) 1 s

B) $ (log10)s $

C) $ 2\text{(}log10)s $

D) $ 10s $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Given velocity is $ v=s+1 $ Since, velocity $ =\frac{ds}{dt} $

$ \therefore \frac{ds}{dt}=s+1\Rightarrow \frac{ds}{s+1}=dt $ Integrate both side we get $ \log (s+1)=t $ At $ s=9m, $

$ t=\log (10) $ second
