    If \[t=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{2}\],then \[\left( -\frac{df}{dt} \right)\]is equal to, (where f is acceleration) [MP PET 1991]

    A)            \[{{f}^{2}}\]

    B)            \[{{f}^{3}}\]

    C)            \[-{{f}^{3}}\]

    D)            \[-{{f}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[t=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{2}\Rightarrow {{v}^{2}}=2t\Rightarrow 2v\frac{dv}{dt}=2.\]                             \[\Rightarrow \frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{1}{v}=f\Rightarrow \frac{df}{dt}=-\frac{1}{{{v}^{2}}}\frac{dv}{dt}=-\frac{1}{{{v}^{2}}}\times \frac{1}{v}\]                             \[\Rightarrow -\frac{df}{dt}=\frac{1}{{{v}^{3}}}={{f}^{3}}\].
