The displacement of a particle, moving in a straight line, is given by where s is in metres and t in seconds. The acceleration of the particle is
1. 2 m/s2
2. 4 m/s2
3. 6 m/s2
4. 8 m/s2
A body A starts from rest with an acceleration a1. After 2 seconds, another body B starts from rest with an acceleration a2. If they travel equal distances in the 5th second, after the start of A, then the ratio a1: a2 is equal to:
1. 5: 9
2. 5: 7
3. 9: 5
4. 9: 7
The velocity of a bullet is reduced from 200m/s to 100m/s while travelling through a wooden block of thickness 10cm. The retardation, assuming it to be uniform, will be
1. m/s2
2. m/s2
3. m/s2
4. m/s2
A particle starts from rest, accelerates at \(2\ \text{m/s}^2\) for \(10\ \text{s}\) and then goes for constant speed for \(30\ \text{s}\) and then decelerates at \(4\ \text{m/s}^2\) till it stops. What is the distance travelled by it?
1. \(750\ \text{m}\)
2. \(800\ \text{m}\)
3. \(700\ \text{m}\)
4. \(850\ \text{m}\)
The engine of a motorcycle can produce a maximum acceleration of \(5\ \text{m/s}^2\). Its brakes can produce a maximum retardation of \(10\ \text{m/s}^2\). What is the minimum time in which it can cover a distance of \(1.5\ \text{km}\)?
1. \(30\ \text{s}\)
2. \(15\ \text{s}\)
3. \(10\ \text{s}\)
4. \(5\ \text{s}\)
A car, moving with a speed of \(50\ \text{km/h}\), can be stopped by the brakes after at least \(6\ \text{m}\). If the same car is moving at a speed of \(100\ \text{km/h}\), the minimum stopping distance is:
1. \(6\ \text{m}\)
2. \(12\ \text{m}\)
3. \(18\ \text{m}\)
4. \(24\ \text{m}\)
A student is standing at a distance of \(50\) metres from the bus. As soon as the bus begins its motion with an acceleration of \(1\) ms–2, the student starts running towards the bus with a uniform velocity \(u\). Assuming the motion to be along a straight road, the minimum value of \(u\), so that the student is able to catch the bus is:
1. \(5\) ms–1
2. \(8\) ms–1
3. \(10\) ms–1
4. \(12\) ms–1
A body \(A\) moves with a uniform acceleration \(a\) and zero initial velocity. Another body \(B\), starts from the same point and moves in the same direction with a constant velocity \(v\). The two bodies meet after a time \(t\). The value of \(t\) is:
1. \(\dfrac{2v}{a}\)
2. \(\dfrac{v}{a}\)
3. \(\dfrac{v}{2a}\)
4. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{v}{2a}}\)
A particle moves along \(x\)-axis in such a way that its coordinate \(x\) varies with time \(t\) according to the equation \(𝑥 = ( 2 − 5 𝑡 + 6 𝑡^ 2 ) \) m. The initial velocity of the particle is:
1. \(–5\ \text{m/s}\)
2. \(6\ \text{m/s}\)
3. \(–3\ \text{m/s}\)
4. \(3\ \text{m/s}\)
A car starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration \(a\) on a straight road from time \(t = 0\) to \(t = T\). After that, a constant deceleration brings it to rest. In this process, the average speed of the car is:
1. \(\dfrac{aT}{4}\)
2. \(\dfrac{3aT}{2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{aT}{2}\)
4. \(aT\)
