Acceleration from distance?

v ( t ) = β x 2 n \large v(t) = \beta x^{2n}

The velocity of a body at time t t seconds is given above, where displacement is x m x \text{ m} . Find the acceleration in m/s 2 \text{m/s}^2 , when n = 1 n= 1 , β = 1 \beta= 1 and x = 3 m x = 3 \text{ m} .


The answer is 54.

Acceleration a ( t ) a(t) is given below:

a ( t ) = d v ( t ) d t = d v ( t ) d x d x d t = v ( t ) d v ( t ) d x = β x 2 n d d x β x 2 n = β x 2 n 2 n β x 2 n 1 a ( t ) = 2 n β 2 x 4 n 1 a ( t ) x = 3 = 2 1 1 2 3 4 1 for n = 1 , β = 1 = 54 \begin{aligned} a(t) & = \frac {dv(t)}{dt} \\ & = \frac {dv(t)}{dx} \cdot \color{#3D99F6}{\frac {dx}{dt}} \\ & = \color{#3D99F6}{v(t)} \frac {dv(t)}{dx} \\ & = \beta x^{2n} \frac d{dx} \beta x^{2n} \\ & = \beta x^{2n} \cdot 2n\beta x^{2n-1} \\ \implies a(t) & = 2n\beta^2 x^{4n-1} \\ a(t) \big|_{x=3} & = 2\cdot 1 \cdot 1^2 \cdot 3^{4-1} & \small \color{#3D99F6}{\text{for }n = 1, \ \beta =1} \\ & = \boxed{54} \end{aligned}
