Position of particle, $x=\alpha t^4+\beta t^2+\gamma t+\delta$ Velocity $v=\frac{d x}{d t}=4 \alpha t^3+2 \beta t+\gamma$ Initial velocity $=v(t=0)=\gamma$ Acceleration $a=\frac{d v}{d t}=12 \alpha t^2+2 \beta$ Initial acceleration $=a(t=0)=2 \beta$ $	herefore \frac{v(t=0)}{a(t=0)}=\frac{\gamma}{2 \beta}$
