    A point initially at rest moves along x-axis. Its acceleration varies with time as \[a=(6t+5)\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]. If it starts from origin, the distance covered in 2 s is

    A)  20 m                                    

    B)  18 m

    C)  16 m

    D)                                         25 m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given,   \[a=\frac{dv}{dt}=6t+5\] or            \[dv=(6t+5)dt\] Integrating, we get                 \[\int_{0}^{v}{dv}=\int_{0}^{1}{(6t+5)}dt\] or            \[v=\left( \frac{6{{t}^{2}}}{2}+5t \right)\] Again     \[v=\frac{ds}{dt}\] \[\therefore \]  \[ds=\left( \frac{6{{t}^{2}}}{2}+5t \right)dt\] Integrating again, we get                 \[\int_{0}^{s}{ds}=\int_{0}^{1}{\left( \frac{6{{t}^{2}}}{2}+5t \right)dt}\] \[\therefore \]  \[s=\frac{3{{t}^{3}}}{3}+\frac{5{{t}^{2}}}{2}\] When,  \[t=2,\,\,s=3\times \frac{{{2}^{3}}}{3}+\frac{5\times {{2}^{2}}}{2}\]                 \[=3\times \frac{8}{3}+\frac{5\times 4}{2}\]                 \[=8+10=18\,\,m\]
