    A point moves in a straight line so that its displacement \[x\](metre) in time t (second) is given by\[{{x}^{2}}={{t}^{2}}+1\]. Its acceleration in m/s , is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}\]                            

    B)  \[-\frac{t}{{{x}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[-\frac{{{t}^{2}}}{{{x}^{3}}}\]                   

    D)  \[\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     \[{{x}^{2}}={{t}^{2}}+1\]                                          ...(i) Differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. t, we have                 \[2x=\frac{dx}{dt}=2t\] or            \[xv=t\]                                                  ...(ii) where, \[v=\frac{dx}{dt}=\]velocity Differentiating Eq. (ii), w.r.t. t, we have \[x\frac{dv}{dt}+v\frac{dx}{dt}=1\] \[xa+v.v=1\] where, \[a=\frac{dv}{dt}=\]acceleration \[\therefore \]  \[xa=1-{{v}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a=\frac{1-{{v}^{2}}}{x}\]                 \[=\frac{1-\frac{{{t}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}}}{x}=\frac{{{x}^{2}}-{{t}^{2}}}{{{x}^{3}}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\]                  \[(\because {{x}^{2}}={{t}^{2}}+1)\]
