An express train is moving with a velocity $v$. Its driver finds another train is moving on the same track in the same direction with velocity $v$. To escape collision, driver applies a retardation $a$ on the train. the minimum time of escaping collision will be
  • $t=\frac{v_1-v_2}{a}$
  • B
    $t_1=\frac{v_1^2-v_2^2}{2}$
  • C
    None
  • D
    (A) and (B) Both
Answer
Correct option: A.
$t=\frac{v_1-v_2}{a}$
As the trains are moving in the same direction. So the initial relative speed $(\left(v_1-v_2)\right)$ and by applying retardation final relative speed becomes zero.
From $v=u-a t \Rightarrow 0=\left(v_1-v_2\right)-a t \Rightarrow t=\frac{v_1-v_2}{a}$

  • $15 m / sec$
  • B
    $25 m / sec$
  • C
    $5 m / sec$
  • D

  • A
    Equal to the time of fall
  • Less than the time of fall
  • C
    Greater than the time of fall
  • D
    Twice the time of fall
Answer
Correct option: B.
Less than the time of fall
(b) Let the initial velocity of ball be $u$Time of rise $t_1=\frac{u}{g+a}$ and height reached $=\frac{u^2}{2(g+a)}$
Time of fall $t_2$ is given by
$\frac{1}{2}(g-a) {t_2}^2=\frac{u^2}{2(g+a)} $
$\Rightarrow t_2=\frac{u}{\sqrt{(g+a)(g-a)}}$ 
$=\frac{u}{(g+a)} \sqrt{\frac{g+a}{g-a}} $ 
$\therefore t_2>t_1 \text { because } \frac{1}{g+a}<\frac{1}{g-a}$

  • $\frac{2 v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{2 v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}$
(d) As the total distance is divided into two equal parts therefore distance averaged speed (=\frac{2 v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}$

A body of $5 kg$ is moving with a velocity of $20 m / s$. If a force of $100 N$ is applied on it for $10 s$ in the same direction as its velocity, what will now be the velocity of the body
  • A
    $200 m / s$
  • $220 m / s$
  • C
    $240 m / s$
  • D
    $260 m / s$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$220 m / s$
(b) $\quad v=u+a t=u+\left(\frac{F}{m}\right) t=20+\left(\frac{100}{5}\right) \times 10=220 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

One car moving on a straight road covers one third of the distance with $20 km / hr$ and the rest with $60 km / hr$. The average speed is
  • A
    $40 km / hr$
  • B
    $80 km / hr$
  • C
    $46 \frac{2}{3} km / hr$
  • $36 km / hr$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$36 km / hr$
(d)$\text { Average speed }=\frac{\text { Total distance }}{\text { Total time }}=\frac{x}{t_1+t_2} $
$=\frac{x}{\frac{x / 3}{v_1}+\frac{2 x / 3}{v_2}}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3 \times 20}+\frac{2}{3 \times 60}}=36 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}$

A body starts from rest from the origin with an acceleration of $6 m / s ^2$ along the $x$-axis and $8 m / s ^2$ along the $y$-axis. Its distance from the origin after 4 seconds will be
  • A
    $56 m$
  • B
    $64 m$
  • $80 m$
  • D
    $128 m$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$80 m$
(c)
$S_x=u_x t+\frac{1}{2} a_x t^2 \Rightarrow S_x=\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 16=48 \mathrm{~m} $
$S_y=u_y t+\frac{1}{2} a_y t^2 \Rightarrow S_y=\frac{1}{2}\times 8 \times 16=64 \mathrm{~m} $
$S=\sqrt{S_x^2+S_y^2}=80 \mathrm{~m}$

MCQ 491 Mark
A car moving with a speed of $40 km / h$ can be stopped by applying brakes after atleast $2 m$. If the same car is moving with a speed of $80 km / h$, what is the minimum stopping distance
  • $8 m$
  • B
    $2 m$
  • C
    $4 m$
  • D
    $6 m$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$8 m$
(a) $S \propto u^2 \therefore \frac{S_1}{S_2}=\left(\frac{u_1}{u_2}\right)^2 \Rightarrow \frac{2}{S_2}=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow S_2=8 \mathrm{~m}$

A mass $m$ slips along the wall of a semispherical surface of radius $R$. The velocity at the bottom of the surface isImage
  • A
    $\sqrt{R g}$
  • $\sqrt{2 R g}$
  • C
    $2 \sqrt{\pi R g}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\pi R g}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\sqrt{2 R g}$
(b) By applying law of conservation of energy$m g R=\frac{1}{2} m v^2\Rightarrowv=\sqrt{2 R g}$
