NEET Physics Speed & Velocity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

A particle moves along a straight line with its position x given by x(t) = 3t^2 + 2t + 1. What is the instantaneous velocity of the particle at t = 2 seconds?

A

14 m/s

B

12 m/s

C

10 m/s

D

8 m/s

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Instantaneous velocity is the derivative of position with respect to time. Differentiating x(t) = 3t^2 + 2t + 1 gives v(t) = 6t + 2. At t = 2 seconds, v(2) = 6(2) + 2 = 14 m/s.
