NEET Physics Speed & Velocity MCQ Question
If the position of an object as a function of time is given by x(t) = 0.08t³, what is the instantaneous velocity at t = 4.0 seconds?
84 m/s
5.12 m/s
08 m/s
0.96 m/s
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The instantaneous velocity is the derivative of the position function with respect to time. For x(t) = 0.08t³, the derivative is v(t) = 0.24t². At t = 4.0 seconds, v = 0.24 * (4)² = 3.84 m/s.
