An object moves with constant acceleration a. Which of the following expressions is/are also constant?
  1. dvdt
  2. dvdt
  3. dv2dt
  4. dvvdt

Solution

Let a=axi^+ayj^+azk^=dvxdti^+dvydtj^+dvzdtk^

As a is constant, so its magnitude as well as direction is not changing, but vx, vy and vz all can be varying (any combination of this if ax, ay or az=0, then corresponding velocity component may be constant).

v=v=vx2+vy2+vz2

dvdt=12vx2+vy2+vz2×2vxdvxdt+2vydvydt+2vzdvzdt=v·av

which is a variable quantity.
dvdt=a, which would be constant.

dv2dt=dvx2+vy2+vz2dt=2v·a (a variable quantity)

dvvdt=ddtvxi^+vyj^+vzk^vx2+vy2+vz2 (a variable quantity)
