The position of a particle moving along the x axis is given by x = 6.0t2  1.0t3, where x is in meters and t in seconds. What is t

The position of a particle moving along the x axis is given by x = 6.0t2  1.0t3, where x is in meters and t in seconds. What is the position of the particle when it achieves its maximum speed in the positive x direction?

  1. Given that,

    x=9t

    2

    −t

    3


    We know that,

    v=

    dt

    dx

    The maximum speed is

    v=18t−3t

    2

    v maximum, at

    dt

    dv

    =0

    dt

    dv

    =18−6t

    The time will be

    0=18−6t

    t=3 sec

    The position of the particle at 3 sec

    Put the value of t in equation (I)

    x=9×9−27

    x=81−27

    x=54 m

    The position of the particle will be 54 m.

    Hence, Option A is correct
