The displacement of a particle in time $ t$ is given by $s = 2{t^2} - 3t + 1$. The acceleration is
Answerc
(c) $s = 2{t^2} - 3t + 1;\,\,\,\therefore \frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = v = 4t - 3$
At $t = 0{\left( {\frac{{ds}}{{dt}}} \right)_{t.0}} = - 3 = {v_1}$
Now, at $t = 1$, we get ${\left( {\frac{{ds}}{{dt}}} \right)_{t = 1}} = 4 - 3 = 1 = {v_2}$
Hence rate of velocity $ = {v_2} - {v_1} = 1 - ( - 3) = 4$
Aliter : Given that $s = 2{t^2} - 3t + 1$
$\frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = 4t - 3 $ ( velocity), Again $\frac{{{d^2}s}}{{d{t^2}}} = 4$ (acceleration).

The equation of motion of a car is $s = {t^2} - 2t$, where $t$ is measured in hours and $s$ in kilometers. When the distance travelled by the car is $15\,km$, the velocity of the car is ......... $km/h$.
Answerd
(d) Given equation $s = {t^2} - 2t$ .....$(i)$
and $\frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = $ velocity $2t - 2 $ .....$(ii)$
Put $s = 15$ in $(i),$ we get ${t^2} - 2t - 15 = 0$
or $(t - 5)(t + 3) = 0$
$\therefore t = 5$
Hence velocity of car $ = v = 2(5) - 2 = 8\,\,km/h$.

The edge of a cube is increasing at the rate of $5 \, cm/\sec .$ How fast is the volume of the cube increasing when the edge is $12\,cm$ long ......... $c{m^3}/\sec $.
AnswerCorrect option: B. $2160$
b
(b) Let velocity $v = 5\,cm/\sec $
(Increasing the rate/sec is called the velocity)
$\frac{{da}}{{dt}} = 5$ .....$(i)$
Where $ a$ is distance and $t$ is time.
But if $a$ is edge of a cube, then $V = {a^3}$
Differentiating w.r.t. time $t,$ so
$\frac{{dV}}{{dt}} = 3{a^2}\frac{{da}}{{dt}} = 3{a^2}.5\, = \,15{a^2} = 15 \times {(12)^2}$
$ = 2160\,\,c{m^3}/\sec $ ( $\because$ edge $a = 12\,cm)$.

If the law of motion in a straight line is $s = {1 \over 2}v\,t,$ then acceleration is
- ✓
- B
Proportional to $ t$
- C
Proportional to $v$
- D
Proportional to $ s$
Answera
(a) $s = \frac{1}{2}vt$ ==> $2s = vt$==> $2\frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = v + t.\frac{{dv}}{{dt}}$
==> $2\frac{{{d^2}s}}{{d{t^2}}} = \frac{{dv}}{{dt}} + t.\frac{{{d^2}v}}{{d{t^2}}} + \frac{{dv}}{{dt}}$
But $\frac{{dv}}{{dt}} =$ acceleration $(a)$
==> $2a = a + t.\frac{{da}}{{dt}} + a$ ==> $\frac{{da}}{{dt}} = 0$ or $xy = 4 \times 4 = 16$
But for whole notation $t = 0$ is impossible so that $\frac{{da}}{{dt}} = 0$ $i.e.,$ $a$ is constant.

A point moves in a straight line during the time $t = 0$ to $t = 3$ according to the law $s = 15t - 2{t^2}$. The average velocity is
Answerb
(b) Motion of a particle $s = 15t - 2{t^2}$
Therefore, velocity $\frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = 15 - 4t$
==> ${\left( {\frac{{ds}}{{dt}}} \right)_{t = 0}} = 15$ and ${\left( {\frac{{ds}}{{dt}}} \right)_{t = 3}} = 3$
Therefore, average $ = \frac{{15 + 3}}{2} = 9$.

The equations of motion of two stones thrown vertically upwards simultaneously are $s = 19.6\,t - 4.9\,{t^2}$ and $s = 9.8\,t - 4.9\,{t^2}$ respectively and the maximum height attained by the first one is $h.$ When the height of the first stone is maximum, the height of the second stone will be
Answerd
(d) The time taken by first stone to secure maximum height =$t = \frac{u}{g} = \frac{{19.6}}{{9.8}} = 2sec$.
The time taken by second stone to secure maximum height is, $t = \frac{{9.8}}{{9.8}} = 1\,\,sec. $
Therefore, in $2\, sec$, second stone will come back to the ground. Hence height $s = a{t^2} + bt + 6$.

The maximum height is reached in $5$ seconds by a stone thrown vertically upwards and moving under the equation $10s = 10ut -49{t^2}$, where $ s$ is in metre and $t$ is in second. The value of $u$ is ........ $m/\sec $
Answerb
(b) Given equation is $\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = - \frac{{16}}{6} = - \frac{8}{3}cm/\sec .$ or $s = ut - 4.9{t^2}$
==> $\frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = u - 9.8t = v$
When stone reached the maximum height, then $v = 0$
==> $u - 9.8t = 0 \Rightarrow u = 9.8\,t$
But time $t = 5\,sec$
So the value of $u = 9.8 \times 5 = 49.0\,m/sec$
Hence initial velocity $ = 49\,m/sec.$

${3 \over 2}\,sec$
- B
${2 \over 3}sec$
- C
${1 \over 2}sec$
- D

Again $\frac{{{d^2}s}}{{d{t^2}}} = 12t - 18 =$ acceleration
If acceleration becomes zero, then $0 = 12t - 18$ ==> $t = \frac{3}{2}\sec .$
Hence acceleration will be zero after $\frac{3}{2}\,sec.$

If it is known that the particle comes to rest after $4$ seconds at a distance of $16$ metre from the starting position $(t = 0)$, then the retardation in its motion is
AnswerCorrect option: B. ${5 \over 4}m/{\sec ^2}$
b
(b) Given equation $s = a{t^2} + bt + 6$ ……$(i)$
Differentiating w.r.t. time, we get
Velocity $(v)= 2at + b$ ……$(ii)$
After $4\,sec,$ $v = 0$ and distance $s = 16\,metres$
$\therefore 0 = 2a \times 4 + b \Rightarrow 8a + b = 0$ …..$(iii)$
and $16 = 16a + 4b + 6$==> $16 = 16a + 4( - 8a) + 6$
$\therefore $ $a = - \frac{5}{8}$
But retardation in its motion is, $2a = \frac{{ - 5}}{4}m/{\sec ^2}$
$\therefore $ Retardation $ = \frac{5}{4}m/{s^2}$ (Retardation itself means $-ve$).

Moving along the $ x-$ axis are two points with $x = 10 + 6t; \, x = 3 + {t^2}.$ The speed with which they are reaching from each other at the time of encounter is ........... $cm/sec$. ( $x$ is in $cm$ and $t$ is in seconds)
Answerc
(c) Time of encounter $10 + 6t = 3 + {t^2}$
==> ${t^2} - 6t - 7 = 0$, $t = 7\,sec.$
At $t = 7\sec $., ${v_1} = \frac{d}{{dt}}(10 + 6t) = 6\,cm/sec$
At $t = 7\sec .$ ${v_2} = \frac{d}{{dt}}(3 + {t^2}) = 2t = 2 \times 7 = 14\,cm/sec$
$\therefore$ Resultant velocity $= {v_2} - {v_1} = 14 - 6 = 8\,cm/sec$

If the distance $‘s’ $ metre traversed by a particle in $ t$ seconds is given by $s = {t^3} - 3{t^2}$, then the velocity of the particle when the acceleration is zero, in $metre/sec$ is
Answerc
(c) Given $s = {t^3} - 3{t^2}$
$\therefore$ $v = \frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = 3{t^2} - 6t$, $a = \frac{{{d^2}s}}{{d{t^2}}} = 6t - 6$
Acceleration is zero, if $6t - 6 = 0$==> $t = 1$
$\therefore$ Required velocity of particle at $t = 1$ is $v = 3{(1)^2} - 6(1)$
$ \Rightarrow \,v = - 3$.

A spherical balloon is being inflated at the rate of $35 \,cc/min.$ The rate of increase of the surface area of the balloon when its diameter is $14\, cm $ is ....... $sq\,. cm/min$.
Answerb
(b) Volume $=V = \frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}$==> $\frac{{dV}}{{dt}} = 4\pi {r^2}.\frac{{dr}}{{dt}}$, at $r = 7\, cm $
$35\, cc/ min$ $= 4\pi {(7)^2}\frac{{dr}}{{dt}} \Rightarrow \frac{{dr}}{{dt}} = \frac{5}{{28\pi }}$
Surface area, $S = 4\pi {r^2}$
$\frac{{dS}}{{dt}} = 8\pi r\frac{{dr}}{{dt}} = \frac{{8\pi .7.5}}{{28\pi }} = 10\,$ $cm^2/min$.

b
(b) We have ${x^2} + {y^2} = {10^2}$
==> $2x\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} + 2y\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = 0$ ==> $x.3 + y.( - 4) = 0$
==> $x = \frac{4}{3}y$.
Thus, ${\left( {\frac{4}{3}y} \right)^2} + {y^2} = {10^2} \Rightarrow y = 6\,m.$

A stone, thrown vertically upward from the surface of the moon at a velocity of $24\,m/sec$ reaches a height of $s = 24$ $t - 0.8{t^2}$ metre after $t$ second. The acceleration due to gravity in $m/{\sec ^2}$ at the surface of the moon is
Answerb
(b) $\frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = $ velocity $ = 24 = 24 - 1.6t$
So acceleration at $t$ is $\left[ {\frac{{{d^2}s}}{{d{t^2}}}} \right] = - 1.6$
As stone is thrown upwards, so acceleration $ = 1.6$.

The distance travelled by a particle moving in a striaght line in time $t$ is $s = \sqrt {a{t^2} + bt + c} $. Acceleration of the particle is
AnswerCorrect option: C. Proportional to ${s^{ - 3}}$
c
(c) Distance ${s^2} = a{t^2} + bt + c$
Differentiating $w.r.t$. time $t$ of distance $s$, we get
$2s\frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = 2at + b$…..(i)
$\therefore $ Velocity $ = \frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = \frac{1}{2}{(a{t^2} + bt + c)^{ - 1/2}}(2at + b)$
Again differentiating $(i)$, we have $2{\rm{ }}{\left( {\frac{{ds}}{{dt}}} \right)^2} + 2s\frac{{{d^2}s}}{{d{t^2}}} = 2a$
or $s\frac{{{d^2}s}}{{d{t^2}}} = a - {\left( {\frac{{ds}}{{dt}}} \right)^2} = a - \frac{1}{4}\frac{{{{(2at + b)}^2}}}{{(a{t^2} + bt + c)}}$
or $\frac{{{d^2}s}}{{d{t^2}}} = $ acceleration
$ = \frac{a}{{{{(a{t^2} + bt + c)}^{1/2}}}} - \frac{1}{4}\frac{{{{(2at + b)}^2}}}{{{{(a{t^2} + bt + c)}^{3/2}}}}$
$ = \frac{1}{{4{{(a{t^2} + bt + c)}^{3/2}}}}[4a(a{t^2} + bt + c) - {(2at + b)^2}]$
$ = \frac{1}{{4{{(a{t^2} + bt + c)}^{3/2}}}}$
$[4{a^2}{t^2} + 4abt + 4ac - 4{a^2}{t^2} - {b^2} - 4abt]$
= $\left( {\frac{{4ac - {b^2}}}{4}} \right)\frac{1}{{{s^3}}}$.
Thus acceleration $f \propto {s^{ - 3}},$ where $\frac{{4ac - {b^2}}}{4}$ is constant.
