A particle is moving in a circular path of radius r. The displacement after half a circle would be:
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $\pi\text{r}$
  • $2\text{r}$
  • D
    $2\pi\text{r}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2\text{r}$

Displacement is the difference between the final and initial position of a body. It is a vector quantity and is independent of the path taken. So, for the movement of half of a circle, the displacement is $2r$, where r is the radius of the circular path.

A $100\ m$ sprinter increases her speed from rest uniformly at the rate of $1\ m/s2$ upto $40\ m$ and covers the remaining distance with a uniform speed. The sprinter covers the first half of the run in $t1$s and second half in $t2$s, then.
  • $t_1>t_2$
  • B
    $t_1
  • C
    $t_1=t_2$
  • D
    Information given is incomplete.
Answer
Correct option: A.
$t_1>t_2$

For the first $40 m$
Using the third equation of motion: $\mathrm{v}^2-\mathrm{u}^2=2$ as
where: $\mathrm{s}=$
distance covered $=40 \mathrm{mv}=$
final velocity $=? \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{su}=$
initial velocity $=0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sa}=$
acceleration $=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
$ v^2-u^2=2 a s$
$v^2-0=2 \times 1 \times 40$
$v^2=80$
$v=8.94 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
Using the first equation of motion $v=u+$ at
where:
$ \mathrm{v}=\text { final velocity }=8.94 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
$\mathrm{u}=\text { initial velocity }=0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sa}=\text { acceleration }=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
$\mathrm{t}_1=\text { time }=? \mathrm{~s}$
$\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{u}+\mathrm{at}_1$
$8.94=0+1 \times \mathrm{t}_1$
$\mathrm{t}_1=8.94 \mathrm{~s}$
Here its given the speed is uniform not velocity, therefore acceleration will be $1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ and speed will be $8.94 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ everywhere.
Using the third equation of motion: $v^2-u^2=2$ as
where
$\mathrm{s}=\text { distance covered }$
$=60 \mathrm{mv}=\text { final velocity }=? ? \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{su}$
$=\text { initial velocity }=8.94 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sa}$
$=\text { acceleration }=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
$\mathrm{v}^2-\mathrm{u}^2=2 \mathrm{as}$
$\mathrm{v}^2-(8.94)^2=2 \times 1 \times 60$
$\mathrm{v}^2-80=120$
$\mathrm{v}^2=120+80=200$
$v=14.14 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ Using the first equation of motion
$\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{u}+\mathrm{at}$
where:
$\mathrm{v}=\text { final velocity }=14.14 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
$\mathrm{u}=\text { initial velocity }=8.94 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sa}=\text { acceleration }=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
$\mathrm{t}_2=\text { time }=? \mathrm{~s}$
$\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{u}+\mathrm{at}_2$
$14.14=8.94+1 \times \mathrm{t}_2$
$\mathrm{t}_2=14.14-8.94$
$\mathrm{t}_2=5.2 \text { secs. }$

MCQ 1221 Mark
A truck traveling due north at $50\ km/ hr$ turns west and travels at the same speed. What is the change in magnitude of speed:
  • $0$
  • B
    $100$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $50$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0$

When the direction is changed then velocity changes but the speed or magnitude of velocity remains constant.
In this case, the truck changes only the direction of motion, not the magnitude.
So change in the magnitude of velocity is zero.

Which of the following terms does not go well with the motion of a bus on a crowded road:
  • Uniform velociity
  • B
    Variable velocity
  • C
    Variable acceleration
  • D
    Variable speed
Answer
Correct option: A.
Uniform velociity
On a crowded road, depending on traffic conditions, the bus driver has to change its speed and direction of motion many times.
The driver will have to frequently apply brakes as well.
He might also have to accelerate the bus with different rates.
So, the velocity changes both by magnitude and direction.
Thus, uniform velocity is not attained in this case.

The speed of a moving object is determined to be $0.06\ m/s$. This speed is equal to:
  • A
    $2.16\ km/h$
  • B
    $1.08\ km/h$
  • $0.216\ km/h$
  • D
    $0.0216\ km/h$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$0.216\ km/h$

We can convert $0.06\ m/s$ as:
$=\frac{0.06(3600)}{1000}\text{km/hr}$
$=0.216\text{km/hr}$
So, the answer is $0.216\ km/hr.$

A body is thrown vertically upward with velocity u, the greatest height h to which it will rise is,
  • A
    $\frac{\text{u}}{\text{g}}$
  • $\frac{\text{u}^2}{2\text{g}}$
  • C

The numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object is:
  • A
    Always less than $1.$
  • B
    Always equal to $1.$
  • C
    Always more than $1.$
  • Equal or less than $1.$
Answer

If north is the positive direction, which situation involves positive velocity and negative acceleration:
  • A
    A car speeding up as it moves southward
  • B
    A car moving southward at a constant speed
  • A car slowing down as it moves northward
  • D
    A car slowing down as it moves southward
Answer
Correct option: C.
A car slowing down as it moves northward
The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is known as acceleration.
Negative acceleration means a decrease in velocity with respect to time.
If a car is moving northward and slowing down, the displacement will be along the north $($positive$),$ so the velocity will be positive until it gets stopped.
As the car is slowing down, the acceleration will be negative.

When a car driver travelling at a speed of $10\ m/s$ applies brakes and brings the car to rest in $20s$, then retardation will be:
  • A
    $+2m/s^2$
  • B
    $-2m/s^2$
  • C
    $-0.5m/s^2$
  • $+0.5m/s^2$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$+0.5m/s^2$

The term ''retardation'' means negative acceleration.Initial velocity $= 10m/s$
Final velocity $= 0m/s$
Time taken $= 20s$
Acceleration $=\frac{0-10}{20}$
$\Rightarrow $ Acceleration $= -0.5m/s^2$

You are sitting in a stationary car. There is a helium balloon tied to its floor. You accelerate and obviously feel like you are being pushed backwards $($against the direction of your accelerations$).$ The balloon.
  • Will move forward.
  • B
    Will move backward.
  • C
    Will remain state.
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Will move forward.
The densest air in your passenger compartment is the ambient air. The least dense is your helium$-$filled balloon. When you accelerate, the ambient air will try to remain where it is and will appear to "slosh" toward the rear $($if you can see the ambient air$).$ Because the balloon has less inertia, it will be displaced by the heavier ambient air and will be forced forward in the passenger compartment.
