Question -

If the velocity of a moving particle , `v = prop x^n` where `x` is the displacement , then

Options:
A .  when `x = 0` the velocity aand acceleration are zero
B .  `n > 1/2`
C .  `n
D .  (A) and (B) are correct.
Answer: Option D

Here             `v prop x^n`

or                 `(dx)/(dt)= kx^n`

`:.`                `(d^2 x)/(d t^2) = kn x^(n - 1) (dx)/(dt)`

or                `(d^2x)/(d ^2) = knx^(n - 1) kx^n`

or                ` (d^2 x)/(d t^2) = k^2 n x^(2n - 1)`

Since , at `x = o, v = 0`

It means fr moving the body , acceleration should be positive , for this.

`:.`              `2n - 1 > 0`

`rArr            n > 1/2`

If ` n < 1/2` particle remains in rest.
