  1. A particle moves a distance x in time t according to equation x = (t + 5)–1. The acceleration of particle is proportional to:
    1. (velocity)3/2
    2. (distance)²
    3. (distance)–2
    4. (velocity)2/3
Correct Option: A

x =
1
t + 5

∴ v =
dx
=
- 1
dt(t - 5)²

∴ a =
d²x
=
2
= 2x³
dt²(t - 5)³

Now
1
∝ v1/2
(t + 5)

1
∝ v3/2 ∝ a
(t + 5)³
