The distance s in metres covered by a particle in t seconds is \(s = \frac{3}{2}t^{2} - 3t\). Find its acceleration.

A.

\(1 ms^{-2}\)

B.

\(2 ms^{-2}\)

C.

\(3 ms^{-2}\)

D.

\(4 ms^{-2}\)

Correct answer is C

The two time differentiation of distance with respect to time will give the acceleration.

\(s = \frac{3}{2}t^{2} - 3t\)

\(\frac{\mathrm d s}{\mathrm d t} = v = 3t - 3\)

\(\frac{\mathrm d v}{\mathrm d t} = a = 3\)
