Displacement of a body is given by The value instantaneous acceleration is:

Displacement of a body is given by \( x= \) \( \mathbf{5}+\mathbf{3} t+\mathbf{2} t^{2} . \) The value instantaneous acceleration is:

  • A. 4 units
  • B. 6 units
  • C. 5 units
  • D. 2 units

Step-by-step solution

The displacement is x = 5 + 3t + 2t². Velocity v = dx/dt = 3 + 4t. Acceleration a = dv/dt = 4 units (constant). Hence instantaneous acceleration is 4 units.
