AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a physics problem involving a particle whose acceleration increases linearly with time, expressed as a = bt. To find the distance traveled in t seconds, participants emphasize the need to set up relevant equations and note that acceleration is a function of time. The solution involves converting the initial equation into a differential equation, integrating it, and solving for distance. Participants are encouraged to refer to definitions of speed, velocity, and displacement to aid in their understanding. The conversation highlights the importance of mathematical relationships in physics problems.

please anyone can give me some hint to solve this question?
 
Ok. Fine. You haven't setup any equations as yet!

The Acceleration of a particle increases linearly as bt with time

What equation can you make out of this?

Write that equation. Also, note that unlike your normal equations of x, this time you will NOT have an unknown! Instead, you'll have an unknown function.

When you solve the equation you obtain here, convert it into another "differential equation". That way, you'll have another unknown function. Integrate it again, and then make another equation, solve it again.


Hints :

What is a function? a = bt is a function. "a" being the function of time, since "a" depends on time!

Also, YOU HAVEN'T POSTED ANY RELEVANT EQUATIONS!

Can you guess what are the relevant equations here? Refer to your original definitions of speed, velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. wrt mathematics!
 
It's a 30 second problem. I have just not told you straightforward the solution, but given hints - THAT is why the reply was large!

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
