The velocity y of a particle in a time t is given by the equation
y = 10 + 2t2
Find the instantaneous acceleration after 5 seconds
A
60 ms-2
B
20 ms-2
C
15 ms-2
D
10 ms-2
correct option: b

The velocity V = 10 + 2t2

But acceleration, a = dv/dt

thus if V = 10 + 2t2

dv/dt = 4t

And t = 5s then a = 4x5 = 20m/s2

∴a = 20ms
