A particle moves along a straight line OX. At a time t (in seconds) the distance x (in metres) of the particle from O is given by

How long would the particle travel before coming to rest?

• 24m

• 40m

• 56m

• 16m

C.

56m

Velocity is rate of change of distance or displacement.
Distance travelled by the particle is

We know that, velocity is rate of change of distance i.e.,

but final velocity v = 0

Hence, distance travelled by the particle before coming to rest is given by
