The displacement \(x\) of a particle varies with time \(𝑡\) as \(x=ae^{\alpha t}+be^{\beta t}\) where \(𝑎,\ 𝑏,\ 𝛼\) and \(\beta\) are positive constants. The velocity of the particle will:

1. Go on decreasing with time
2. Be independent of \(𝛼\) and \(\beta\)
3. Drop to zero when \(𝛼 = 𝛽\)
4. Go on increasing with time

A car, starting from rest, accelerates at the rate \(f\) through a distance \(S\), then continues at a constant speed for time \(t\) and then decelerates at the rate \(\frac f2\) to come to rest. If the total distance traversed is \(15\ \text{S}\), then:

1. \(S = \frac{1}{2}ft^2\)
2. \(S = \frac{1}{4}ft^2\)
3. \(S = \frac{1}{72}ft^2\)
4. \(S = \frac{1}{6}ft^2\)
