Question
A small electric car has a maximum constant acceleration of $1\,m / s ^2$, a maximum constant deceleration of $2\,m / s ^2$ and a maximum speed of $20\,m / s$. The amount of time it would take to drive this car $1\,km$ starting from rest and finishing at rest is $.........\,s$

Answer

(d)

Car will acquire maximum speed i.e. $20\,m / s$ in $20\,s$ with an acceleration of $1\,m / s ^2$.In retardation, it will take $10\,s$. Suppose it moves with constant speed of $20\,m / s$ of $t$ second. Then,

Area of $v-t$ graph $=$ Total displacement or $\frac{1}{2}[t+30+t] \times 20=1000$ or

$\therefore$ Total time of journey $=(30+t)=65\,s$

A student of mass $M$ is $1.5 \,m$ tall and has her centre of mass $1 \,m$ above ground when standing straight. She wants to jump up vertically. To do so. she bends her knees so that her centre of mass is lowered by $0.2 \,m$ and then pushes the ground by a constant force F. As a result, she jumps up such that the maximum height of her feet is $0.3 \,m$ above ground. The ratio $F / Mg$ is
