Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that acceleration of a particle is rate of change of velocity with respect to time. 

Acceleration (a) =( dV/dt ) i.e differentiation of Velocity V(t) with respect to time. 

Differentiation of t^n is n× t^(n-1) i.e 

(dt^n / dt ) = (n× t^n-1 )

Differentiation of a constant is zero. I.e (d(K)/dt ) = 0

Differentiation of two function in sum can be written as :- 

d(u+v) /dt =( du/dt) + (dv/dt)

If a constant is multiplied then it comes out from the differentiation operator (d/dt) 

d(kt^n )/dt = k( dt^n/dt). 

Above formula is going to be used in the solution.
