    A article moves along a straight line OX. At a time t (in seconds) the distance \[x\](in metres) of the particle from O is given by \[x=40+12t-{{t}^{3}}\] How long would the particle travel before coming to rest?

    A)  24 m          

    B)  40 m

    C)  56 m          

    D)  16 m

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Speed is rate of change of distance. Distance travelled by the particle is \[x=40+12t-{{t}^{3}}\] We know that, speed is rate of change of distance i.e., \[v=\frac{dx}{dt}\] \[\therefore \] \[v=\frac{d}{dt}(40+12t-{{t}^{3}})\] \[=0+12-3{{t}^{2}}\] But final velocity \[v=0\] \[\therefore \] \[12-3{{t}^{2}}=0\] or \[{{t}^{2}}=\frac{12}{3}=4\] or \[t=2s\] Hence, distance travelled by the particle before coming to rest is given by \[x=40+12(2)-{{(2)}^{3}}\] \[=40+24-8=64-8\] \[=56\,m\]
