33. A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate for some time, after which deaccelerates as a constant rate to come to rest. If the total time elapsed is 1, the maximum velocity accquired to the car is given by
Dear student,
Here i am taking a and b in place of
u = 0
a 1 = a
t = t s
a 2 = b
Let the maximum velocity attained be v at time t1
Thus
v = u + a t1
=> v = at1 ---1.
vf = 0 after t – t1 seconds @ b ms -2 retardation
Thus
0 = v – b(t-t1)
By 1
=> at1 – b(t-t1) = 0
=> t1(a + b) = bt
=> t1 = bt/(a+b)
Again,
v = at1
=> v = {ab/(a+b)}t
so the final answer will be,
