The distance travelled by a body moving along a line in time $t$ is proportional to $t^3$. The acceleration-time $(a, t)$ graph for the motion of the body will be




Solution

Distance along a line i.e., displacement ( $s$ ) $=t^3\left(\because s \propto t^3\right.$ given $)$ By double differentiation of displacement, we get acceleration. $V=\frac{d s}{d t}=\frac{d t^3}{d t}=3 t^2$ and $ \begin{aligned} & a=\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d 3 t^2}{d t}=6 t \\ & a=6 t \text { or } a \propto t \end{aligned} $ Hence graph (b) is correct
