The acceleration of a particle is increasing linearly with time \(t\) as \(b t\). The particle starts from the origin with an initial velocity \(v_0\). The distance travelled by the particle in time \(t\) will be
(a)
\(
\begin{array}{c}
a=b t \\
\therefore \quad \int_{v_0}^v d v=\int a d t=\int_0^t b t \cdot d t \Rightarrow v=v_0+\frac{b t^2}{2}
\end{array}
\)
Further integrating the above equation w.r.t. time, we get
\(
s=v_0 t+\frac{b t^3}{6}
\)
The acceleration \(a\) (in \(\mathrm{ms}^{-2}\) ), of a particle is given by \(a=3 t^2+2 t+2\) where \(t\) is the time. If the particle starts out with a velocity \(v=2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) at \(t=0\), then the velocity at the end of \(2 \mathrm{~s}\) is
(d)
\(
d v=a d t
\)
\(
\therefore \quad \int_2^v d v=\int_0^2\left(3 t^2+2 t+2\right) d t=\left[t^3+t^2+2 t\right]_0^2
\)
or \(\quad v=18 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
A particle is moving such that \(s=t^3-6 t^2+18 t+9\), where \(s\) is in metre and \(t\) is in second. The minimum velocity attained by the particle is
(c) \(s=t^3-6 t^2+18 t+9 \Rightarrow v=\frac{d s}{d t}=3 t^2-12 t+18\)
\(v\) is minimum or maximum at time \(t\), which can be calculated as
\(
\begin{aligned}
a & =\frac{d v}{d t}=6 t-12=0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad t & =2 \mathrm{~s}
\end{aligned}
\)
At \(t=2 \mathrm{~s}\),
\(\frac{d^2 v}{d t^2}=6>0\), i.e. \(v\) is minimum at \(t=2 \mathrm{~s}\)
\(
v_{\min }=3(2)^2-12(2)+18=6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
\)
Which of the following graph represents the uniform motion?
(d) Uniform motion means uniform velocity or constant slope of \(s-t\) graph.
A particle shows distance-time curve as given in this figure. The maximum instantaneous velocity of the particle is around the point
Slope of s-t graph gives instantaneous velocity
Slope \(=\tan \theta\)
Slope at \(A\) and \(D\) is very less
For \(B\) and \(C, \theta_2>\theta_1\)
\(\operatorname{tan} \theta_2>\tan \theta_1\)
Hence instantaneous velocity is maximum at \(C\).
From the displacement-time graph, find out the velocity of a moving body.
(c) Slope of the s-t graph is velocity, \(v=\tan \theta\)
But it is valid only when angle is measured with time axis.
So, for the given graph, angle from time axis
\(
=90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}
\)
Now,
\(
v=\tan 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\)
The distance-time graph of a particle at time \(t\) makes angle \(45^{\circ}\) with the time axis. After one second, it makes angle \(60^{\circ}\) with the time axis. What is the average acceleration of the particle?
(a) \(v_i=\) slope of \(s-t\) graph \(=\tan 45^{\circ}=1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
\(v_f=\) slope of \(s-t\) graph \(=\tan 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Now, \(a_{\mathrm{av}}=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{1}=(\sqrt{3}-1)\) units
The \(v-t\) graph of a moving object is shown in the figure. The maximum acceleration is
Â
(d) Maximum acceleration means maximum change in velocity in minimum time interval.
In time interval, \(t=30 \mathrm{~s}\) to \(t=40 \mathrm{~s}\)
\(
\therefore \quad a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{80-20}{40-30}=\frac{60}{10}=6 \mathrm{cms}^{-2}
\)
The variation of velocity of a particle with time moving along a straight line is illustrated in the adjoining figure. The distance travelled by the particle in \(4 \mathrm{~s}\) is
\(
\text { (b) Distance }=\text { Area under } v \text { – } t \text { graph }=A_1+A_2+A_3+A_4
\)
\(
\begin{array}{l}
=\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 20+(20 \times 1)+\frac{1}{2}(20+10) \times 1+(10 \times 1) \\
=10+20+15+10=55 \mathrm{~m}
\end{array}
\)
A lift is going up. The variation in the speed of the lift is as given in the graph. What is the height to which the lift takes the passengers?
\(
\text { (c) } \text { Distance }=\text { Area of trapezium }=\frac{1}{2} \times 3.6 \times(12+8)=36 \mathrm{~m}
\)
The velocity-time graph of a body moving in a straight line is shown in the figure. The displacement and distance travelled by the body in \(6 \mathrm{~s}\) are respectively
Displacement is equal to area under the velocity time graph with proper sign.
\(\therefore\) Displacement \(=4 \times 2-2 \times 2+2 \times 2=8 \mathrm{~m}\)
Distance is equal to total area under the speed time graph.
\(\therefore\) Distance \(=4 \times 2+2 \times 2+2 \times 2=16 \mathrm{~m}\).
The \(x-t\) equation is given as \(x=2 t+1\). The corresponding \(v\) – \(t\) graph is
\(
\text { (b) } v=\frac{d x}{d t}=2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}=\text { constant }
\)
Which of the following graphs correctly represents velocity-time relationship for a particle released from rest to fall freely under gravity?
(a) Velocity will continuously increase (starting from rest).
A particle projected vertically upwards returns to the ground in time \(T\). Which graph represents the correct variation of velocity \((v)\) against time \((t)\) ?
(a) Velocity first decreases in upwards direction, then increases in downward direction.
The velocity-time graph is shown in the figure, for a particle. The acceleration of particle is
\(
\text { (c) } a=\text { Slope of } v t \text { graph }=-\frac{15}{3}=-5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}
\)
The \(v-t\) plot of a moving object is shown in the figure. The average velocity of the object during the first \(10 \mathrm{~s}\) is
(a) Since, total displacement is zero, hence average velocity is also zero.
Which of the following graphs cannot possibly represent one dimensional motion of a particle?
(d) I is not possible because total distance covered by a particle cannot decrease with time. II is not possible because at a particular time, position cannot have two values. III is not possible because at a particular time, velocity cannot have two values. IV is not possible because speed can never be negative.
If the velocity \(v\) of a particle moving along a straight line decreases linearly with its displacement \(s\) from \(20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) to a value approaching zero at \(s=30 \mathrm{~m}\), then acceleration of the particle at \(v=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) is
\(
\text { (d) } a=v\left(\frac{d v}{d s}\right)=(10)\left(-\frac{20}{30}\right)=-\frac{20}{3} \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}
\)
\(v^2\) versus \(s\) graph of a particle moving in a straight line is shown in the figure below. From the graph some conclusions are drawn. State which amongst the following statement(s) is wrong?
(b) For uniformly accelerated motion, \(v^2=u^2+2 a\) s, i.e.
\(v^2\) versus \(s\) graph is a straight line with intercept \(u^2\) and slope
\(2 a\). Since, intercept is non-zero, initial velocity is non-zero.
A graph between the square of the velocity of a particle and the distance $s$ moved by the particle is shown in the figure below. The acceleration of the particle is
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\text { (b) } v^2=u^2+2 a s, \text { slope }=2 a=-\frac{16}{2}=-8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2} \\
\text { or } \quad a=-4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}
\end{array}
\)
A particle starts from rest at \(t=0\) and undergoes an acceleration a in \(\mathrm{ms}^{-2}\) with time \(t\) in second which is as shown?
Which one of the following plot represents velocity \(v\) (in \(\mathrm{ms}^{-1}\) ) versus time \(t\) (in s)?
(a) Taking the motion from 0 to \(2 \mathrm{~s}\),
\(
\begin{array}{l}
u=0, a=3 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}, t=2 \mathrm{~s}, v=? \\
v=u+a t=0+3 \times 2=6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\end{array}
\)
Taking the motion from \(2 \mathrm{~s}\) to \(4 \mathrm{~s}\),
\(
v=6+(-3)(2)=0 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\)
A \(100 \mathrm{~m}\) long train crosses a man travelling at \(5 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\), in opposite direction in \(7.2 \mathrm{~s}\), then the velocity of train is
\(
\text { (d) } 7.2=\frac{100}{(v+5)(5 / 18)} \text { or } v=45 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\)
Two parallel rail tracks run north-south. Train \(A\) moves north with a speed of \(54 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\) and train \(B\) moves south with a speed of \(90 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\). Find the relative velocity of \(B\) w.r.t. \(A\).
(a) Let positive direction of motion be from south to north.
Given,
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\mathbf{v}_A=+54 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}=15 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}, \\
\mathbf{v}_B=-90 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}=-25 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\end{array}
\)
\(\therefore\) The relative velocity of \(B\) w.r.t. \(A\),
\(
\mathbf{v}_{B A}=\mathbf{v}_B-\mathbf{v}_A=-25-15=-40 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\)
i.e. The train \(B\) appears to \(A\) to move with a speed of \(40 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) from north to south.
Two bodies are held separated by \(9.8 \mathrm{~m}\) vertically one above the other. They are released simultaneously to fall freely under gravity. After \(2 \mathrm{~s}\), the relative distance between them is
(c) Both the particles will fall same distance in same time interval.
So, the relative separation will remain unchanged.
A particle \((A)\) moves due north at \(3 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\) and another particle \((B)\) moves due west at \(4 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\). The relative velocity of \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is (Take, \(\tan 37^{\circ}=3 / 4\) )
\(
\text { (b) } \mathbf{v}_{A B}=\mathbf{v}_A-\mathbf{v}_B
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
v_{A B} & =\sqrt{v_A^2+v_B^2}=5 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1} \\
\alpha & =\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{v_A}{v_B}\right)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \\
& =37^{\circ} \text { east of north }
\end{aligned}
\)
A man standing on a road has to hold his umbrella at \(30^{\circ}\) with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at \(10 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\). He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. What is the speed of rain with respect to ground?
(b) Velocity of rain is at \(30^{\circ}\) in vertical direction. So, its horizontal component is \(v_R \sin 30^{\circ}=\frac{v_R}{2}\). When man starts walking with \(10 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\) rain appears vertical. So, horizontal component \(\frac{v_R}{2}\) is balanced by his speed of \(10 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\). Thus, \(\frac{v_R}{2}=10\) or \(v_R=20 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\)
Alternate:
When the man is at rest with respect to the ground, the rain comes to him at an angle \(30^{\circ}\) with the vertical. This is the direction of the velocity of raindrops with respect to the ground. The situation when the man runs is shown in the figure
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rg}}=\text { velocity of rain drops with respect to ground. } \\
\mathrm{V}_{\text {man }}=\text { velocity of man }=10 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h} \\
\text { Hence, } \cos \theta=\frac{10}{\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{rg}}} \\
\Rightarrow \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{10}{\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{rg}}} \\
\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{10}{\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{rg}}} \\
\Rightarrow \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rg}}=20 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}
\end{array}
\)
Hence, velocity of rain drops with respect to the ground is \(20 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\).
A stationary man observes that the rain is falling vertically downward. When he starts running with a velocity of \(12 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\), he observes that the rain is falling at an angle \(60^{\circ}\) with the vertical. The actual velocity of rain is
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\text { (c) } \tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{v_H}{v_V} \text { or } \sqrt{3}=\frac{12}{v_V} \\
\therefore & v_V=4 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}
\end{array}
\)
Alternate:
Let \(\vec{V}_m\) be the velocity of the running man.
Let the velocity of the rain be \(\vec{V}_r\)
From the figure, we can say \(\tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{m}}}\right|}{\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{r}}}\right|}\)
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\sqrt{3}=\frac{12}{\left|\vec{V}_r\right|} \\
\therefore\left|\vec{V}_r\right|=4 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}
\end{array}
\)
A boy is running on the plane road with velocity \(v\) with a long hollow tube in his hand. The water is falling vertically downwards with velocity \(u\). At what angle to the vertical, he must inclined the tube, so that the water drops enter it without touching its sides?
(a) \(\tan \theta=\frac{v_H}{v_V}=\frac{v}{u}\)
or \(\quad \theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{v}{u}\right)\)
Â
The speed of boat is \(5 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\) in still water. It crosses a river of width \(1 \mathrm{~km}\) along the shortest possible path in \(15 \mathrm{~min}\). Then, velocity of river will be
Shortest path that is, Width of river \(=1 \mathrm{Km}\)
Speed of boat in still water \(v_{br}=5 \mathrm{Kmhr}^{-1}\)
Time taken by boat to cross the river \(\mathrm{t}=15 \mathrm{~min}=\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{hr}\)
Let the speed of river \(=v_r\)
The vector diagram is shown below
Calculating the velocity of river:
By observing the vector diagram we can calculate the velocity along the shortest path as below:
Speed in the direction of shortest path \(=\frac{\text { shortest path }}{\text { time }}\)
And also we know that
\(
\text { time }=\frac{\text { shortest path }}{\sqrt{{v_{br}}^2-\mathrm{v_r}^2}}
\)
\(
\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{25-{v_r}^2}}
\)
\(
{v_r}=3 \mathrm{Kmh}^{-1}
\)
Therefore the speed of river is equal to \(3 \mathrm{Kmh}^{-1}\).
\(A\) ship \(X\) moving due north with speed \(v\) observes that another ship \(Y\) is moving due west with same speed \(v\). The actual velocity of \(Y\) is
\(
\text { (b) } \mathbf{v}_x=-v \hat{\mathbf{j}}
\)
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore \quad \mathbf{v}_Y=\mathbf{v}_{Y X}+\mathbf{v}_X=-\hat{\mathbf{i}}+v \hat{\mathbf{j}} \\
\left|\mathbf{v}_Y\right|=\sqrt{2} v
\end{array}
\)
Direction of \(\mathbf{v}_Y\) is north-west.
A river is flowing from west to east at a speed of \(8 \mathrm{~m}\) per \(\mathrm{min}\). A man on the south bank of the river, capable of swimming at \(20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{min}\) in still water, wants to swim across the river in the shortest time. He should swim in a direction,
(a) To reach the opposite bank of the river in minimum time, the swimmer should swim at right angles to the direction of flow of river. He should swim in a direction due north
The rowing speed of a man relative to water is \(5 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\) and the speed of water flow is \(3 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\). At what angle to the river flow should he head, if he wants to reach a point on the other bank, directly opposite to starting point?
(a)
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{{br}}}=5 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h} \\
\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{r}}=3 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}
\end{array}
\)
To reach the directly opposite point the man should move along the line joining the two points in other words due to the resultant velocity his body should flow perpendicular to river flow.
To do this we need to cancel out the speed of water to avoid the drifting. Suppose he moves at angle \(90+\theta\) from the direction of flow. Thus his speed component opposite to that of river is \(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{br}} \sin \theta\) that should cancel \(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{r}}\).
\(
\sin \theta=\frac{v_r}{v_{k \pi}}=\frac{3}{5}, \theta=37^{\circ}
\)
The required angle is therefore
\(
90^{\circ}+\theta=90^{\circ}+37^{\circ}=127^{\circ}
\)
A man wants to reach point \(B\) on the opposite bank of a river flowing at a speed as shown in figure. With what minimum speed and in which direction should the man swim relative to water, so that he can reach point \(B\) ?
(c) Let \(v\) be the speed of boatman in still water. Resultant of \(v\) and \(u\) should be along \(A B\). Components of \(\mathbf{v}_b\) (absolute velocity of boatman) along \(x\) and \(y\)-directions are,
\(
v_x=u-v \sin \theta \text { and } v_y=v \cos \theta
\)
Further, \(\tan 45^{\circ}=\frac{v_y}{v_x}\) or \(1=\frac{v \cos \theta}{u-v \sin \theta}\)
\(
\therefore \quad v=\frac{u}{\sin \theta+\cos \theta}=\frac{u}{\sqrt{2} \sin \left(\theta+45^{\circ}\right)}
\)
\(v\) is minimum at,
\(
\theta+45^{\circ}=90^{\circ} \text { or } \theta=45^{\circ} \text { and } v_{\min }=\frac{u}{\sqrt{2}}
\)
Two trains, each \(50 \mathrm{~m}\) long moving parallel towards each other at speeds \(10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) and \(15 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) respectively, at what time will they pass each other?
(b) \(v_r=10+15=25 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
where, \(v_r\) is relative velocity.
\(
\therefore \quad t=\frac{50+50}{25}=4 \mathrm{~s}
\)
A ball is dropped from the top of a building \(100 \mathrm{~m}\) high. At the same instant, another ball is thrown upwards with a velocity of \(40 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) from the bottom of the building. The two balls will meet after
(b) Relative acceleration \(=0\) relative velocity is \(40 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) and relative separation is \(100 \mathrm{~m}\).
\(
\therefore \quad t=\frac{100}{40}=25 \mathrm{~s}
\)
A boy walks to his school at a distance of \(6 \mathrm{~km}\) with constant speed of \(2.5 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\) and walks back with a constant speed of \(4 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\). His average speed for round trip expressed (in \(\mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\) ), is
(b)
\(
\begin{aligned}
\text { Average speed of a boy } & =\frac{2 v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}=\frac{2 \times 2.5 \times 4}{2.5+4} \\
& =\frac{20}{6.5}=\frac{40}{13} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}
\end{aligned}
\)
The distance travelled by a particle starting from rest and moving with an acceleration \(\frac{4}{3} \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\), in the third second is
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\text { (a) } s_n=u+\frac{a}{2}(2 n-1) \\
\Rightarrow \quad s_3=0+\frac{4 / 3}{2}(2 \times 3-1) \Rightarrow s_3=\frac{10}{3} \mathrm{~m}
\end{array}
\)
A vehicle travels half the distance \(l\) with speed \(v_1\) and the other half with speed \(v_2\), then its average speed is
(c) Time taken to travel first half distance, \(t_1=\frac{l / 2}{v_1}=\frac{l}{2 v_1}\) Time taken to travel second half distance, \(t_2=\frac{l}{2 v_2}\)
\(
\text { Total time }=t_1+t_2=\frac{l}{2 v_1}+\frac{l}{2 v_2}=\frac{l}{2}\left(\frac{1}{v_1}+\frac{1}{v_2}\right)
\)
We know that, \(v_{\text {av }}=\) Average speed
\(
=\frac{\text { total distance }}{\text { total time }}=\frac{l}{\frac{l}{2}\left(\frac{1}{v_1}+\frac{1}{v_2}\right)}=\frac{2 v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}
\)
Which of the following speed-time \((v-t)\) graphs is physically not possible?
(d) In all the given graphs, we have more than one value of speed corresponding to a single time. However, the graph must have a unique value of speed corresponding to a single time. Thus, all the three graphs are not possible.
A particle moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration. It changes its velocity from \(10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) to \(20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) while passing through a distance \(135 \mathrm{~m}\) in \(t\) second. The value of \(t\) (in second) is
(b) From third equation of motion, \(v^2=u^2+2 a s\)
\(
\Rightarrow \quad a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2 \mathrm{~s}}=\frac{(20)^2-(10)^2}{2 \times 135}=\frac{300}{270}=\frac{10}{9} \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}
\)
From first equation of motion,
\(
v=u+a t \Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{20-10}{10 / 9}=\frac{10}{10 / 9}=9 \mathrm{~s}
\)
A man walks on a straight road from his home to a market \(2.5 \mathrm{~km}\) away with a speed of \(5 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\). Finding the market closed, he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of \(7.5 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\). The average speed of the man over the interval of time 0 to \(50 \mathrm{~min}\) is equal to
(c) Man walks from his home to market with a speed of \(5 \mathrm{~kmh}^{-1}\). Distance \(=2.5 \mathrm{~km}\) and time
\(
=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{2.5}{5}=\frac{1}{2}=30 \mathrm{~min}
\)
and he returns back with speed of \(7.5 \mathrm{~kmh}^{-1}\) in rest a time of \(20 \mathrm{~min}\).
Distance \(=7.5 \times \frac{20}{60}=2.5 \mathrm{~km}\)
So, average speed \(=\frac{\text { total distance }}{\text { total time }}=\frac{(2.5+2.5)}{(50 / 60) \mathrm{h}}=\frac{30}{5} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\)
A car moving with a velocity of \(10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) can be stopped by the application of a constant force \(F\) in a distance of \(20 \mathrm{~m}\). If the velocity of the car is \(30 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\), it can be stopped by this force in
(d) \(s \propto u^2\). If \(u\) becomes 3 times, then \(s\) will become 9 times, i.e. \(9 \times 20=180 \mathrm{~m}\)
A body \(A\) starts from rest with an acceleration \(a_1\). After 2 seconds, another body \(B\) starts from rest with an acceleration \(a_2\). If they travel equal distance in the 5th second, after the start of \(A\), then the ratio \(a_1: a_2\) is equal to
(a) Distance travelled by body \(A\) in 5 th second and distance travelled by body \(B\) in 3rd second of its motion are equal.
\(
\begin{aligned}
0+\frac{a_1}{2}(2 \times 5-1) & =0+\frac{a_2}{2}(2 \times 3-1) \\
9 a_1 & =5 a_2 \Rightarrow \frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{5}{9}
\end{aligned}
\)
The displacement-time graph of a moving particle is shown below. The instantaneous velocity of the particle is negative at the point
(a) \(\because\) Slope of displacement-time graph at the point \(E\) is negative. Thus, at the point \(E\), the instantaneous velocity of the particle is negative.
Figure given shows the distance-time graph of the motion of a car. It follows from the graph that the car is
(d) Since \(x=1.2 t^2\), comparing it with equation of motion
\(
x=\frac{1}{2} a t^2 \text {. }
\)
Thus, the motion is uniformly accelerated.
Note: Since, slope is increasing parabolically at a constant rate hence, motion of car is uniformly accelerated.
The velocity of a body depends on time according to the equation \(v=\frac{t^2}{10}+20\). The body is undergoing
(c) It is given that, \(v=\frac{t^2}{10}+20\)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. time, we get
\(
\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{2 t}{10}+0=\frac{t}{5}
\)
\(\therefore\) Acceleration, \(a=\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{t}{5} \neq\) constant
Hence, it is a case of non-uniform acceleration.
The velocity \(v\) of a particle as a function of its position \((x)\) is expressed as \(v=\sqrt{c_1-c_2 x}\), where \(c_1\) and \(c_2\) are positive constants. The acceleration of the particle is
(b) Given, \(v=\sqrt{c_1-c_2 x}\)
We know that, \(a=v \frac{d v}{d x}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \quad a & =\sqrt{c_1-c_2 x} \cdot \frac{d}{d x} 9\left(\sqrt{c_1-c_2 x}\right) \\
& =\frac{1}{2}\left(-c_2\right)=-\frac{c_2}{2}
\end{aligned}
\)
A person walks up a stalled escalator in \(90 \mathrm{~s}\). When he is just standing on the same moving escalator, then he is carried for \(60 \mathrm{~s}\). The time it would take him to walk up the moving escalator will be
(d) \(v_1=\frac{s}{90}, v_2=\frac{s}{60}\)
Now, \(t=\frac{s}{v_1+v_2}=\frac{s}{\frac{s}{90}+\frac{s}{60}}\)
\(
=\frac{90 \times 60}{90+60}=36 \mathrm{~s}
\)
Particle \(A\) is moving along \(X\)-axis. At time \(t=0\), it has velocity of \(10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) and acceleration \(-4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\). Particle \(B\) has velocity of \(20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) and acceleration \(-2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\). Initially both the particles are at origin. At time \(t=2 \mathrm{~s}\), distance between the two particles is
(a) At \(t=2 \mathrm{~s} ; x_A=10 \times 2-\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times(2)^2=12 \mathrm{~m}\) and \(x_B=20 \times 2-\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times(2)^2=36 \mathrm{~m}\)
\(\therefore\) Distance between \(A\) and \(B\) at that instant is \(36-12=24 \mathrm{~m}\).
The displacement of a body along \(X\)-axis depends on time as \(\sqrt{x}=t+1\). Then, the velocity of body
(a) Given, \(\sqrt{x}=t+1\)
Squaring both sides, we get
\(
x=(t+1)^2=t^2+2 t+1
\)
Differentiating it w.r.t. time \(t\), we get
\(
\frac{d x}{d t}=2 t+2
\)
Velocity, \(v=\frac{d x}{d t}=2 t+2\)
This shows velocity increases with respect to time linearly.
A car starts moving along a line, first with acceleration \(a=5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) starting from rest, then uniformly and finally decelerating at the same rate \(a\) and comes to rest. The total time of motion is \(25 \mathrm{~s}\). The average speed during the time is \(20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). How long does particle move uniformly?
\(
\text { (d) Average velocity }=\frac{\text { Total displacement }}{\text { Total time }}
\)
or \(\quad 20=\frac{\frac{1}{2} \times a \times t^2+(a t)(25-2 t)+\frac{1}{2} \times a \times t^2}{25}\)
Solving this equation with \(a=5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\), we get
\(
t=5 \mathrm{~s}
\)
Thus, the particle moved uniformly for \((25-2 t)\) or \(15 \mathrm{~s}\).
A cyclist starts from the centre \(O\) of a circular park of radius one kilometre, reaches the edge \(P\) of the park, then cycles along the circumference and returns to the centre along \(Q O\) as shown in the figure. If the round trip takes ten minutes, the net displacement and average speed of the cyclist (in metre and kilometre per hour) is
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\text { (d) Net displacement }=0 \text { and total distance }=O P+P Q+Q O \\
\qquad=1+\frac{2 \pi \times 1}{4}+1=\frac{14.28}{4} \mathrm{~km} \\
\text { Average speed }=\frac{14.28}{4 \times 10 / 60}=\frac{6 \times 14.28}{4}=21.42 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}
\end{array}
\)
A body starts from rest with uniform acceleration \(a\). The acceleration of the body as function of time \(t\) is given by the equation \(a=p t\), where \(p\) is a constant, then the displacement of the particle in the time interval \(t=0\) to \(t=t_1\) will be
(d) Integrate twice to convert \(a\) – \(t\) equation into \(s\) – \(t\) equation.
\(
\begin{array}{lc}
\because & a=\frac{v}{t} \Rightarrow v=a t \\
\Rightarrow & \int d v=\int a \cdot d t \Rightarrow v=\int p t \cdot d t=\frac{p t^2}{2} \\
\because & s=v \times t \Rightarrow d s=v d t \\
\Rightarrow & \int d s=\int_0^{t_1} v d t \Rightarrow s=\frac{1}{6} p t_1^3
\end{array}
\)
A particle moves along a straight line \(O X\). At a time \(t\) (in seconds), the distance \(x=40+12 t-t^3\). How long would the particle travel before coming to rest?
(c) Distance travelled by the particle is \(x=40+12 t-t^3\)
We know that, speed is defined as the rate of change of distance, i.e. \(\quad v=\frac{d x}{d t}\)
\(
v=\frac{d}{d t}\left(40+12 t-t^3\right)=0+12-3 t^2
\)
But final velocity, \(v=0\)
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \quad 12-3 t^2=0 \Rightarrow t^2=\frac{12}{3}=4 \\
\Rightarrow \quad t=2 \mathrm{~s} \\
\end{array}
\)
Hence, distance travelled by the particle before coming to rest is given by
\(
x=40+12(2)-(2)^3=40+24-8=64-8=56 \mathrm{~m}
\)
A bullet emerges from a barrel of length \(1.2 \mathrm{~m}\) with a speed of \(640 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). Assuming constant acceleration, the approximate time that it spends in the barrel after the gun is fired, is
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\text { (b) Given, } s=1.2 \mathrm{~m}, v=640 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \text {, } \\
a=\text { ?; } u=0 ; t=\text { ? } \\
2 a s=v^2-u^2 \\
\Rightarrow \quad 2 a \times 1.2=640 \times 640 \\
\Rightarrow \quad a=\frac{8 \times 64 \times 100}{3} \\
v=u+a t \\
\Rightarrow \quad t=\frac{v}{a}=\frac{640 \times 3}{8 \times 64 \times 100}=37.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~s} \approx 40 \mathrm{~ms} \\
\end{array}
\)
The ratios of the distance traversed, in successive intervals of time by a body, falling from rest, are
(a) Here, \(u=0, a=g\)
Distance travelled in \(n\)th second is given by
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
& D_n=u+\frac{a}{2}(2 n-1) \\
\therefore \quad & D_n \propto(2 n-1) \\
\therefore \quad & D_1: D_2: D_3: D_4: D_5 \ldots=1: 3: 5: 7: 9: \ldots
\end{array}
\)
A particle starts from rest. Its acceleration (a) versus time \((t)\) graph as shown in the figure. The maximum speed of the particle will be
(b) The area under acceleration-time graph gives change in velocity.
As acceleration is zero at the end of \(11 \mathrm{~s}\), i.e. \(\quad v_{\max }=\) Area of \(\triangle O A B=\frac{1}{2} \times 11 \times 10=55 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
A ball is dropped onto the floor from a height of \(10 \mathrm{~m}\). It rebounds to a height of \(5 \mathrm{~m}\). If the ball was in contact with the floor for \(0.01 \mathrm{~s}\), what was its average acceleration during contact? (Take, \(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) )
(a)
\(
\begin{aligned}
a_{\mathrm{av}} & =\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t} \quad \text { (As they are in opposite direction) } \\
& =\frac{\sqrt{2 g h_f}+\sqrt{2 g h_i}}{\Delta t}=\frac{\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 5}+\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 10}}{0.01} \\
& =2414 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}
\end{aligned}
\)
Alternate:
When dropped from the height \(10 \mathrm{~m}\) from rest, the velocity with which the ball hits the ground is
\(\mathrm{v_i}=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{gh}}=\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 10}=\sqrt{196}=14.14 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) in vertically downward direction.
After the ball rebounds, it reaches maximum height of \(2.5 \mathrm{~m}\)
so velocity just after the rebound is
\(\mathrm{v_f}=\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 5}=\sqrt{49}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) in vertically upward direction.
So average acceleration is \((10-(-14.14)) / 0.01=2414 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) in vertically upward direction.
Two boys are standing at the ends \(A\) and \(B\) of a ground, where \(A B=a\). The boy at \(B\) starts running in a direction perpendicular to \(A B\) with velocity \(v_1\). The boy at \(A\) starts running simultaneously with velocity \(v\) and catches the other boy in a time \(t\), where \(t\) is
(b) Let two boys meet at point \(C\) after time ‘ \(t\) ‘ from the starting. Then, \(A C=v t, B C=v_1 t\) (see figure)
\(
(A C)^2=(A B)^2+(B C)^2 \Rightarrow v^2 t^2=a^2+v_1^2 t^2
\)
By solving, we get
\(
t=\sqrt{\frac{a^2}{v^2-v_1^2}}
\)
A boggy of uniformly moving train is suddenly detached from train and stops after covering some distance. Then, which amongst the following option is correct about the relation between the distance covered by the boggy and distance covered by the train in the same time?
(b) Let \(a\) be the retardation of boggy, then distance covered by it be \(s_b\). If \(u\) is the initial velocity of boggy after detaching from train (i.e. uniform speed of train)
\(
v^2=u^2+2 a s \Rightarrow 0=u^2-2 a s
\)
\(
\Rightarrow \quad s_b=\frac{u^2}{2 a}
\)
Time taken by boggy to stop
\(
v=u+a t \Rightarrow 0=u-a t \Rightarrow t=\frac{u}{a}
\)
In this time \(t\), distance travelled by train, \(s_t=u t=\frac{u^2}{a}\) Hence, ratio \(\frac{s_b}{s_t}=\frac{1}{2}\).
A body moves for a total of nine second starting from rest with uniform acceleration and then with uniform retardation, which is twice the value of acceleration and then stops. The duration of uniform acceleration is
(d)
Let acceleration is \(a\) and retardation is \(-2 a\).
Then, for accelerated motion,
\(
t_1=\frac{v}{a} \dots(i)
\)
For retarding motion,
\(
t_2=\frac{v}{2 a} \dots(ii)
\)
Given, \(t_1+t_2=9 \Rightarrow \frac{v}{a}+\frac{v}{2 a}=9 \Rightarrow \frac{3 v}{2 a}=9 \Rightarrow \frac{v}{a}=6\)
Hence, duration of acceleration, \(t_1=\frac{v}{a}=6 \mathrm{~s}\).
The displacement \(x\) of a particle varies with time \(t\) as \(x=a e^{-\alpha t}+b e^{\beta t}\), where \(a, b, \alpha\) and \(\beta\) are positive constants. The velocity of the particle will
(d) Given, \(x=a e^{-\alpha t}+b e^{\beta t}\)
So, velocity, \(v=\frac{d x}{d t}=-a \alpha e^{-\alpha t}+b \beta e^{\beta t}\) \(a=\frac{d v}{d t}=a \alpha^2 e^{-\alpha t}+b \beta^2 e^{\beta t}=+\) ve all time.
\(\therefore v\) will go on increasing.
A stone is allowed to fall freely from rest. The ratio of the time taken to fall through the first metre and the second metre distance is
\(
\text { (b) } 1=\frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 \text { or } t_1=\sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}
\)
\(
2=\frac{1}{2} g t^2 \text { or } t=\sqrt{\frac{4}{g}}
\)
But
\(
t_2=t-t_1=\sqrt{\frac{4}{g}}-\sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad \frac{t_1}{t_2} & =\frac{\sqrt{2 / g}}{\sqrt{4 / g}-\sqrt{2 / g}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2-\sqrt{2}} \\
& =\frac{\sqrt{2}(2+\sqrt{2})}{2}=(\sqrt{2}+1)
\end{aligned}
\)
Amongst the following equation of motion, which represents uniformly accelerated motion?
(c) \(t=\sqrt{\frac{x+a}{b}}\) or \((x+a)=b t^2\) or \(x=-a+b t^2\) Comparing this equation with general equation of uniformly accelerated motion, \(s=s_i+u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^2\) we see that \(s_i=-a, u=0\) and acceleration \(=2 b\).
A point initially at rest moves along \(X\)-axis. Its acceleration varies with time as \(a=(6 t+5) \mathrm{ms}^{-2}\). If it starts from origin, then the distance covered in \(2 \mathrm{~s}\) is
(b) Given, acceleration, \(a=6 t+5\)
\(
\therefore \quad a=\frac{d v}{d t}=6 t+5, d v=(6 t+5) d t
\)
Integrating it, we have
\(
\int_0^v d v=\int_0^t(6 t+5) d t
\)
\(v=3 t^2+5 t+C\), where \(C\) is a constant of integration.
When \(t=0, v=0\), so \(C=0\)
\(
\therefore \quad v=\frac{d s}{d t}=3 t^2+5 t \text { or } d s=\left(3 t^2+5\right) d t
\)
Integrating it within the conditions of motion, i.e. as \(t\) changes from 0 to \(2 \mathrm{~s}, s\) changes from 0 to \(s\), we have
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \int_0^s d s =\int_0^2\left(3 t^2+5 t\right) d t \\
\therefore & s =\left[t^3+\frac{5}{2} t^2\right]_0^2=8+10=18 \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}
\)
A particle moves a distance \(x\) in time \(t\) according to equation \(x=(t+5)^{-1}\). The acceleration of particle is proportional to
(a) Given, \(x=\frac{1}{t+5}\)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. \(t\), we get
\(
\frac{d x}{d t}=-\frac{1}{(t+5)^2} \times 1
\)
\(\therefore\) Velocity, \(v=\frac{d x}{d t}=-\frac{1}{(t+5)^2} \dots(i)\)
Again, differentiating both sides w.r.t. \(t\), we get
\(
\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{1 \times 2}{(t+5)^3}(1)=\frac{2}{(t+5)^3} \dots(ii)
\)
Now, from Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
\frac{d v}{d t}=-2 v \times \frac{1}{(t+5)}=(-2 v)(\sqrt{v})=-2(v)^{3 / 2}
\)
\(\therefore\) Acceleration, \(a=\frac{d v}{d t}=-2 v^{3 / 2} \Rightarrow a \propto(\text { velocity })^{3 / 2}\)
A particle moves along a straight line. Its position at any instant is given by \(x=32 t-\frac{8 t^3}{4}\), where \(x\) is in metre and \(t\) is in second. Find the acceleration of the particle at the instant when particle is at rest.
(b) \(v=\frac{d x}{d t}=32-6 t^2, v=0\) at \(t=2.30 \mathrm{~s}\)
\(
a=\frac{d v}{d t}=-12 t
\)
At \(2.30 \mathrm{~s}\),
\(
a=-27.6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}
\)
Two particles \(P\) and \(Q\) simultaneously start moving from point \(A\) with velocities \(15 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) and \(20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) respectively. The two particles move with accelerations equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. When \(P\) overtakes \(Q\) at \(B\), then its velocity is \(30 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). The velocity of \(Q\) at point \(B\) will be
(b) For \(P, 30=15+a t\) or at \(=15 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
For \(Q, v=20-a t\) or \(v=20-15=5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
A man is \(45 \mathrm{~m}\) behind the bus when the bus start accelerating from rest with acceleration \(2.5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\). With what minimum velocity should the man start running to catch the bus?
(c) Let the man will catch the bus after \(t\) second. So, he will cover distance \(u t\).
Similarly, distance travelled by the bus will be \(\frac{1}{2} a t^2\).
For the given condition,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& u t=45+\frac{1}{2} a t^2=45+1.25 t^2 \quad\left(\text { As, } a=2.5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right) \\
\Rightarrow \quad & u=\frac{45}{t}+1.25 t
\end{aligned}
\)
To find the minimum value of \(u\)
\(
\frac{d u}{d t}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{d u}{d t}=\frac{-45}{t^2}+1.25=0
\)
So, we get \(t=6 \mathrm{~s}\), then \(u=\frac{45}{6}+(1.25 \times 6)=15 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
A point moves in a straight line, so that its displacement \(x\) at time \(t\) is given by \(x^2=t^2+1\). Its acceleration is
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\text { (b) } x^2=t^2+1 \text { or } 2 x \cdot \frac{d x}{d t}=2 t \text { or } x \cdot \frac{d x}{d t}=t \\
\therefore \quad v=\frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{t}{x}=\frac{t}{\sqrt{t^2+1}} \\
\quad a=\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d^2 x}{d t^2}=\frac{\sqrt{t^2+1}-\frac{t^2}{\sqrt{t^2+1}}}{\left(t^2+1\right)}=\frac{1}{\left(t^2+1\right)^{3 / 2}}=\frac{1}{x^3}
\end{array}
\)
A point moves with uniform acceleration and \(v_1, v_2\) and \(v_3\) denote the average velocities in the three successive intervals of time \(t_1, t_2\) and \(t_3\). Which of the following relations is correct?
(b) Average velocity in uniformly accelerated motion is given by
\(
v_{\mathrm{av}}=\frac{s}{t}=\frac{u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^2}{t}=u+\frac{1}{2} a t
\)
Now, \(v_1=u+\frac{1}{2} a t_1, v_2=\left(u+a t_1\right)+\frac{1}{2} a t_2\)
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\text { and } v_3=u+a\left(t_1+t_2\right)+\frac{1}{2} a t_3 \\
\therefore\left(v_1-v_2\right):\left(v_2-v_3\right)=\left(t_1+t_2\right):\left(t_2+t_3\right)
\end{array}
\)
The velocity-time graph for a particle moving along \(X\)-axis is shown in the figure. The corresponding displacement-time graph is correctly shown by
(d) Motion is first uniformly accelerated in positive direction, then it is uniform in negative direction.
The vertical height of point \(P\) above the ground is twice that of \(Q\). A particle is projected downward with a speed of \(5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) from \(P\) and at the same time, another particle is projected upward with the same speed from \(Q\). Both particles reach the ground simultaneously, then
\(
\text { (c) } h=-5 t+5 t^2 \text { and } 2 h=5 t+5 t^2
\)
From these two equations, we get \(t=3 \mathrm{~s}\) and \(h=\) distance between \(P\) and \(Q=30 \mathrm{~m}\).
A body falling from a high Minaret travels \(40 \mathrm{~m}\) in the last 2 seconds of its fall to ground. Height of Minaret in metre is (Take, \(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) )
(b) Let height of Minaret be \(H\) and body take time \(T\) to fall from top to bottom.
\(
H=\frac{1}{2} g T^2 \dots(i)
\)
In last \(2 \mathrm{~s}\), body travels distance of \(40 \mathrm{~m}\), so in \((T-2)\) second, distance travelled \(=(H-40) \mathrm{m}\)
\(
\Rightarrow \quad(H-40)=\frac{1}{2} g(T-2)^2 \dots(ii)
\)
By solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
T=3 \mathrm{~s} \text { and } H=45 \mathrm{~m}
\)
The acceleration-time \((a-t)\) graph for a particle moving along a straight line starting from rest is shown in figure. Which of the following graph is the best representation of variation of its velocity \((v)\) with time \((t)\) ?
(a) Given acceleration-time graph is shown in figure.
Let \(a(t=0)=a_0=\) constant
From the graph, we have
\(
\begin{aligned}
\frac{t}{T}+\frac{a}{a_0} & =1 \\
\Rightarrow \quad a_0 t+a T & =a_0 T \dots(i)
\end{aligned}
\)
Also, we know that,
\(
a=\frac{d v}{d t} \dots(ii)
\)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
\frac{a_0 T-a_0 t}{T}=\frac{d v}{d t}
\)
Integrating both sides, we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
\quad \int_0^t\left(a_0 T-a_0 t\right) d t & =T \int_0^v d v \\
\Rightarrow \quad a_0 T t-\frac{a_0 t^2}{2} & =T v \Rightarrow v=a_0 t-\frac{a_0}{2 T} t^2
\end{aligned}
\)
Therefore, \(v\)-t graph must be parabolic.
Now, at \(t=0, v=0\)
\(
t=T, v=\frac{a_0 T}{2}=\text { constant }
\)
These conditions are satisfied by graph (a).
The given graph shows the variation of velocity with displacement. Which one of the graphs given below correctly represents the variation of acceleration with displacement?
(a) Given line has positive intercept but negative slope. So, its equation can be written as
\(
v=-m x+v_0\left(\text { where, } m=\tan \theta=\frac{v_0}{x_0}\right) \dots(i)
\)
By differentiating with respect to time, we get
\(
\frac{d v}{d t}=-m \frac{d x}{d t}=-m v
\)
Now, substituting the value of \(v\) from Eq. (i), we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
\frac{d v}{d t} & =-m\left(-m x+v_0\right)=m^2 x-m v_0 \\
\therefore \quad a & =m^2 x-m v_0
\end{aligned}
\)
i.e. The graph between \(a\) and \(x\) should have positive slope but negative intercept on \(a\)-axis. So, graph (a) is correct.
The displacement \(x\) of a particle in a straight line motion is given by \(x=1-t-t^2\). The correct representation of the motion is
(b) \(\frac{d x}{d t}=v=-1-2 t\)
Comparing with \(v=u+a t\), we get
\(
u=-1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \text { and } a=-2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2} \text {. }
\)
At \(t=0, x=1 \mathrm{~m}\) Then, \(u\) and \(a\) both are negative. Hence, \(x\)-coordinate of particle will go on decreasing.
Among the four graph shown in the figure, there is only one graph for which average velocity over the time interval \((0, T)\) can vanish for a suitably chosen \(T\). Which one is it?
(b) In graph (b) for one value of displacement, there are two different points of time. Hence, for one time, the average velocity is positive and for other time is equivalent negative.
As there are opposite velocities in the interval 0 to \(T\), hence average velocity can vanish in (b). This can be seen in the figure alongside. Here, \(O A=B T\) (same displacement) for two different points of time.
A lift is coming from 8th floor and is just about to reach 4th floor. Taking ground floor as origin and positive direction upwards for all quantities, which one of the following is correct?
(a) As the lift is coming in downward directions, displacement will be negative. We have to see whether the motion is accelerating or retarding.
We know that due to downward motion, displacement will be negative. When the lift reaches 4 th floor and is about to stop, hence motion is retarding in nature, hence \(x<0 ; a>0\). As displacement is in negative direction, velocity will also be negative, i.e. \(v<0\).
The displacement of a particle is given by \(x=(t-2)^2\), where \(x\) is in metre and \(t\) in second. The distance covered by the particle in first 4 seconds is
(b) Given, \(\quad x=(t-2)^2\)
Velocity, \(\quad v=\frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}(t-2)^2=2(t-2) \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\)
Acceleration, \(a=\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}[2(t-2)]=2(1-0)=2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
When \(t=0 ; v=-4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}, t=2 \mathrm{~s} ; v=0 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
\(
t=4 \mathrm{~s} ; v=4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\)
\(v\)-t graph is shown in figure below.
\(
\begin{aligned}
\text { Distance travelled } & =\text { Area under the } v \text { – } t \text { graph } \\
& =\mid \text { Area } O A C \mid+ \text { Area } A B D \\
& =\left|\frac{4 \times 2}{2}\right|+\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 4=8 \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}
\)
A body falls freely from the top of a tower. It covers \(36 \%\) of the total height in the last second before striking the ground level. The height of the tower is
(d) Let height of tower is \(h\) and body takes \(t\) time to reach to ground when it fall freely.
\(
\therefore \quad h=\frac{1}{2} g t^2 \dots(i)
\)
In last second, i.e. t-th second body travels \(=0.36 \mathrm{~h}\)
It means in rest of the time, \(i . e\) in \((t-1)\) second, it travels
\(
=h-0.36 h=0.64 h
\)
Now, applying equation of motion for \((t-1)\) second
\(
0.64 h=\frac{1}{2} g(t-1)^2 \dots(ii)
\)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
t=5 \mathrm{~s} \text { and } h=125 \mathrm{~m}
\)
A particle moving along \(X\)-axis has acceleration \(f\), at time \(t\), given \(f=f_0\left(1-\frac{t}{T}\right)\), where \(f_0\) and \(T\) are constants. The particle at \(t=0\) has zero velocity. When \(f=0\), the particle’s velocity \(\left(v_x\right)\) is
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\text { (a) Acceleration, } f=f_0\left(1-\frac{t}{T}\right) \\
\frac{d v}{d t}=f_0 \cdot\left(1-\frac{t}{T}\right) \quad\left(\because f=\frac{d v}{d t}\right) \\
\end{array}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
d v & =f_0 \cdot\left(1-\frac{t}{T}\right) d t \Rightarrow \int d v=\int f_0\left(1-\frac{t}{T}\right) d t \\
v & =f_0 t-f_0 \frac{t^2}{2 T}+C \dots(i)
\end{aligned}
\)
where, \(C\) is constant.
When \(t=0, v=0\) thus from Eq. (i), \(C=0\)
\(
v=f_0 t-\frac{f_0}{T} \cdot \frac{t^2}{2} \dots(ii)
\)
As, \(\quad f=f_0\left(1-\frac{t}{T}\right)\)
When \(f=0\)
\(
\therefore \quad f_0\left(1-\frac{t}{T}\right)=0 ; f_0 \neq 0 \Rightarrow t=T
\)
Putting \(t=T\) in Eq. (ii), we get
\(
v=f_0 T-\frac{f_0}{T} \cdot \frac{T^2}{2}=\frac{f_0 T}{2}

An elevator car whose floor to ceiling distance is \(2.7 \mathrm{~m}\) starts ascending with a constant acceleration of \(1.2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2} .2 \mathrm{~s}\) after the start, a bolt falls from the ceiling of the car. The free fall time of the bolt is (Take, \(g=9.8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) )
(d) Relative to lift,
\(
\begin{array}{l}
u_r=0, a_r=(9.8+1.2)=11 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2} \\
s_r=\frac{1}{2} a r^2 \Rightarrow 2.7=\frac{1}{2} \times 11 \times t^2 \Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{5.4}{11}} \mathrm{~s}
\end{array}
\)
A parachutist after bailing out falls \(50 \mathrm{~m}\) without friction when parachute opens, it decelerates at \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\). He reaches the ground with speed of \(3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). At what height did he bail out?
(a) After bailing out from point \(A\), parachutist falls freely under gravity. The velocity acquired by it will be \(v\).
From \(v^2=u^2+2 a s=0+2 \times 9.8 \times 50=980\)
\(
\text { (As, } \left.u=0, a=9.8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}, s=50 \mathrm{~m}\right)
\)
At point \(B\), parachute opens and it moves with retardation of \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) and reach at ground (point \(C\) with velocity of \(3 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) ). For the part \(B C\) by applying the equation \(v^2=u^2+2 a s\)
\(
v=3 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}, u=\sqrt{980} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}, a=-2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}, s=h
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
(3)^2 & =(\sqrt{980})^2+2 \times(-2) \times h \\
9 & =980-4 h \\
h & =\frac{980-9}{4}=\frac{971}{4}=242.7 \cong 243 \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}
\)
So, the total height by which parachutist bails out
\(
=50+243=293 \mathrm{~m}
\)
Two cars \(A\) and \(B\) are travelling in the same direction with velocities \(v_1\) and \(v_2\left(v_1>v_2\right)\). When the car \(A\) is at a distance \(d\) ahead of the car \(B\), the driver of the car \(A\) applied the brake producing a uniform retardation \(a\). There will be no collision when
(c) Initial relative velocity \(=v_1-v_2\), final relative velocity \(=0\)
From
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\text { From } & v^2=u^2-2 a s \Rightarrow 0=\left(v_1-v_2\right)^2-2 \times a \times s \\
\Rightarrow & s=\frac{\left(v_1-v_2\right)^2}{2 a}
\end{array}
\)
If the distance between two cars is \(s\), then collision will take place. To avoid collision \(d>s\)
\(
\therefore \quad d>\frac{\left(v_1-v_2\right)^2}{2 a}
\)
where, \(d=\) actual initial distance between two cars.
Water drops fall at regular intervals from a tap which is \(5 \mathrm{~m}\) above the ground. The third drop is leaving the tap at the instant, the first drop touches the ground. How far above the ground is the second drop at that instant?
(b) Time taken by first drop to reach the ground, \(t=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad t=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 5}{10}}=1 \mathrm{~s}\)
As the water drops fall at regular intervals from a tap, therefore time difference between any two drops \(=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~s}\).
In this given time, distance of second drop from the tap
\(
=\frac{1}{2} g\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=\frac{10}{8}=1.25 \mathrm{~m}
\)
Its distance from the ground \(=5-1.25=3.75 \mathrm{~m}\)
A body is thrown vertically up with a velocity \(u\). It passes three points \(A, B\) and \(C\) in its upward journey with velocities \(\frac{u}{2}, \frac{u}{3}\) and \(\frac{u}{4}\), respectively. The ratio of the separations between points \(A\) and \(B\) and between \(B\) and \(C\), i.e. \(\frac{A B}{B C}\) is
(d)
\(
\begin{aligned}
A & \Rightarrow \frac{u^2}{4}-u^2=-2 g h_1 \\
B & \Rightarrow \frac{u^2}{9}-u^2=-2 g h_2 \\
C & \Rightarrow \frac{u^2}{16}-u^2=-2 g h_3
\end{aligned}
\)
\(
\therefore \quad A B=\frac{u^2}{2 g}\left(\frac{8}{9}-\frac{3}{4}\right)=\frac{u^2}{2 g} \cdot \frac{5}{36}
\)
\(
B C=\frac{u^2}{2 g}\left(\frac{15}{16}-\frac{8}{9}\right)=\frac{u^2}{2 g} \cdot \frac{7}{144}
\)
\(
\frac{A B}{B C}=\frac{5}{36} \times \frac{144}{7}=\frac{20}{7}
\)
A ball is dropped vertically from a height \(d\) above the ground. It hits the ground and bounces up vertically to a height \(d / 2\) Neglecting subsequent motion and air resistance, its velocity \(v\) varies with the height \(h\) above the ground can be plotted as
(a) For the given condition, initial height \(h=d\) and velocity of the ball is zero. When the ball moves downward, its velocity increases and it will be maximum, when the ball hits the ground and just after the collision, it becomes half and in opposite direction. As the ball moves upwards, its velocity again decreases and becomes zero at height \(d / 2\). This explanation match with graph (a).
The position \(x\) of a particle with respect to time \(t\) along \(X\)-axis is given by \(x=9 t^2-t^3\), where \(x\) is in metres and \(t\) in second. What will be the position of this particle when it achieves maximum speed along the positive \(x\)-direction?
(c) The position \(x\) of a particle w.r.t. time \(t\) along \(X\)-axis,
\(
x=9 t^2-t^3 \dots(i)
\)
Differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. time, we get speed, i.e.
\(
\begin{array}{l}
v=\frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}\left(9 t^2-t^3\right) \\
v=18 t-3 t^2 \dots(ii)
\end{array}
\)
Again, differentiating Eq. (ii) w.r.t. time, we get acceleration, i.e.
\(
\begin{aligned}
a & =\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}\left(18 t-3 t^2\right) \\
\Rightarrow \quad a & =18-6 t \dots(iii)
\end{aligned}
\)
Now, when speed of particle is maximum, its acceleration is zero.
\(
\begin{array}{rlrl}
a =0 \\
\Rightarrow & 18-6 t & =0 \\
\Rightarrow & & t =3 \mathrm{~s}
\end{array}
\)
Putting in Eq. (i), we obtain position of particle at that time
\(
\begin{aligned}
x & =9(3)^2-(3)^3=9(9)-27 \\
& =81-27=54 \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}
\)
A car \(A\) moves along north with velocity \(30 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) and another car \(B\) moves along east with velocity \(40 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\). The relative velocity of \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is
(c) Relative velocity of car \(A\) w.r.t. ground \(\mathbf{v}_{A g}=30 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\)
Relative velocity of car \(B\) w.r.t. ground \(\mathbf{v}_{B g}=40 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\)
\(\therefore\) Relative velocity of \(A\) w.r.t. \(B\),
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathbf{v}_{A B}=\mathbf{v}_{A g}-\mathbf{v}_{B g}=\mathbf{v}_{A g}+\left(-\mathbf{v}_{B g}\right) \\
& \left|\mathbf{v}_{A B}\right|=\sqrt{(30)^2+(40)^2}=50 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h} \\
\therefore & \tan \theta=\frac{30}{40}=\frac{3}{4} \\
\Rightarrow & \quad \theta=\tan ^{-1}(3 / 4) \mathrm{N} \text { of west }

Relative velocity of rain w.r.t. ground, \(\mathbf{v}_{\mathrm{rg}}=4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
Relative velocity of rain w.r.t. \(\operatorname{man}, \mathbf{v}_{r m}=\) ?
\(
\mathbf{v}_{m m}=\mathbf{v}_{r g}-\mathbf{v}_{m g}=\mathbf{v}_{r g}+\left(-\mathbf{v}_{m g}\right)

\begin{aligned}
\mathbf{v}_{\mathrm{rm}} & =5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\
\tan \alpha & =\frac{3}{4}, \quad \tan \beta=\frac{4}{3}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(\mathbf{v}_{m m}=5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) at \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\) with vertical or at \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)\) with horizontal.
A ship is travelling due east at a speed of \(15 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\). Find the speed of a boat heading \(30^{\circ}\) east of north, if it always appears due north from the ship.
where, \(\mathbf{v}_{b g}\) is the velocity of boat w.r.t. ground and \(\mathbf{v}_{s g}\) is the velocity of ship w.r.t. ground.
Relative velocity of boat w.r.t. ship \(\mathbf{v}_{b s}\) is along north. \(\mathbf{v}_{b s}\) is resultant of \(\mathbf{v}_{b g}\) and \(\mathbf{v}_{s g}\) in opposite direction.
\(
\begin{aligned}
v \cos 30^{\circ} & =v_{b s} \\
v \sin 30^{\circ} & =15 \Rightarrow v=30 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}
\end{aligned}
\)
A man takes \(3 \mathrm{~h}\) to cover a certain distance along the flow of river and takes \(6 \mathrm{~h}\) to cover the same distance opposite to the flow of river. In how much time, he will cross this distance in still water?
\(u: v_{r g}\) (velocity of river w.r.t. ground)
\(v: v_{m r}\) (velocity of man w.r.t. river)
Along the flow, \(v_{m g}=v+u, 3=\frac{d}{v+u} \dots(i)\)
where, \(v_{m g}\) is velocity of man w.r.t. ground.
Opposite to the flow,
\(
\begin{aligned}
v_{m g} & =v-u, 6=\frac{d}{v-u} \dots(ii) \\
\Rightarrow \quad t_0 & =\frac{d}{v}=4 \mathrm{~h}
\end{aligned}
\)
A river \(500 \mathrm{~m}\) wide is flowing at a rate of \(4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). A boat is sailing at a velocity of \(10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) with respect to the water in a direction perpendicular to the river. The time taken by the boat to reach the opposite bank is
\(
\begin{array}{rlrl}
y & \text { displacement } & =\text { velocity } \times \text { time } \\
\Rightarrow \quad 500 & =10 t \\
\Rightarrow \quad & t =50 \mathrm{~s}

A ship is travelling due east at \(10 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}\). Another ship heading \(30^{\circ}\) east of north is always due north from the first ship. The speed of the second ship in \(\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}\) is
The condition of both the ships are shown in figure \((A)\) and figure \((B)\) shows the condition of ship 2 when it is always due north to the ship 1.
So, east component of both ships must be same.
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{s} 2} \sin 30^{\circ}=\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{s} 1} \\
\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{s} 2}=\frac{10}{\frac{1}{2}}=20 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}

A man weighing \(80 \mathrm{~kg}\) is standing in a trolley weighing \(320 \mathrm{~kg}\). The trolley is resting on frictionless horizontal rails. If the man starts walking on the trolley with a speed of \(1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), then after \(4 \mathrm{sec}\) his displacement relative to the ground will be
If the man starts walking on the trolley in the forward direction then whole system will move in backward direction with same momentum. Trolley will move back with a velocity \(v^{\prime}=\frac{m v}{M+m}\)
In 4 sec the net distance of the man moved \(=x=v t-v^{\prime} t=1 \times 4-\frac{320 \times 1}{320+80}=3.2 \mathrm{~m}\)
A ship A is moving westwards with a speed of \(10 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~h}^{-1}\) and a ship B, \(100 \mathrm{~km}\) south of A is moving northwards with a speed of \(10 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~h}^{-1}\). The time after which the distance between them becomes the shortest, is:
It is clear from the diagram that the shortest distance between the ship A and \(\mathrm{B}\) is \(\mathrm{PQ}\).
Here, \(\operatorname{Sin} 45^{\circ}=\frac{\mathrm{PQ}}{\mathrm{OQ}}\)
\(
\Longrightarrow \mathrm{PQ}=100 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=50 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m}
\)
Also,
\(
\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{AB}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}^2+\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}}^2}=\sqrt{10^2+10^2}=10 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}
\)
So, the time taken to reach shortest path is
\(
\mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{PQ}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{AB}}}=\frac{50 \sqrt{2}}{10 \sqrt{2}}=5 \mathrm{~h}
\)
A river is flowing with a speed of \(1 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}\). A swimmer wants to go to point ‘ \(\mathrm{C}\) ‘ starting from ‘A’. He swims with a speed of \(5 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}\), at an angle \(\theta\) with respect to the river. If \(A B=B C=400 \mathrm{~m}\). Then
Time to cross river \((t)=\frac{A B}{V_{m r} \sin \theta}=\frac{0.4}{5 \sin \theta}\)
Drift:
\(
\begin{array}{l}
B C=\left(v_{m r} \cos \theta+v_r\right) t \\
\Rightarrow 0.4=(5 \cos \theta+1) \times \frac{0.4}{5 \sin \theta} \\
\Rightarrow 5 \sin \theta-5 \cos \theta=1 \\
\Rightarrow 25 \sin ^2 \theta+25 \cos ^2 \theta-50 \sin \theta \cos \theta=1 \\
\Rightarrow 25 \sin 2 \theta=24 \\
\Rightarrow \sin 2 \theta=\frac{24}{25} \\
\Rightarrow \theta=53^{\circ}

(b) Relative speed of \(Q\) with respect to \(P\) is given by \((10-2) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}=8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
So, if we assume \(P\) is at rest, then we can say that \(Q\) is moving towards \(P\) with speed \(8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
To reach \(P, Q\) will have to cover distance of \(B C+C D+D A=3 \times 8=24 \mathrm{~m}\)
