Question

A particle is moving along the X-axis. Its acceleration at time t is proportional to its velocity at that time. Find the differential equation of the motion of the particle.

Sum

Solution

Let S be the displacement of the particle at time 't'.

Its velocity and acceleration are `(dS)/dt and (d^2S)/dt^2` respectively.

Here `(d^2S)/dt^2 ∝ (dS)/dt`

⇒ `(d^2S)/dt^2 = k(dS)/dt`,    ...(where k is constant ≠ 0)

This is the required differential equation.
