Question:

The position of a particle moving along $y$-axis is given as $y = t^2 + 2t + 3$. The average acceleration of the particle between $t=3s$ and $t=6s$ (in $ms^{-2}$) is

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
• Average acceleration = $\frac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2 - t_1}$

Step 1:
Velocity
\[ v = \frac{dy}{dt} = 2t + 2 \]

Step 2:
Find velocities
\[ v(3) = 8,\quad v(6) = 14 \]

Step 3:
Average acceleration
\[ = \frac{14 - 8}{6 - 3} = \frac{6}{3} = 2 \] Final Conclusion:
\[ = 2 \]
