MCQ 11 Mark
The displacement of a particle in time $ t$  is given by $s = 2{t^2} - 3t + 1$. The acceleration is
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $3$
  • $4$
  • D
    $5$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$4$
c
(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).

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $2$
  • $8$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$8$
d
(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 $.
  • A
    $432$
  • $2160$
  • C
    $180$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct 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 $a = 12\,cm)$.

MCQ 51 Mark
If the law of motion in a straight line is $s = {1 \over 2}v\,t,$ then acceleration is
  • Constant
  • B
    Proportional to $ t$
  • C
    Proportional to  $v$
  • D
    Proportional to $ s$
Answer
Correct option: A.
Constant
a
(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.

MCQ 61 Mark
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
  • A
    $3$
  • $9$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $27$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$9$
b
(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$.

  • ${{10} \over 3}\sec $
  • B
    ${5 \over 3}\sec $
  • C
    ${{20} \over 3}\sec $
  • D
    ${5 \over 6}\sec $
Answer
Correct option: A.
${{10} \over 3}\sec $
a
(a) $\frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = 10 - 6t = v$

But $v = 0$ (at maximum height),    $\therefore t = \frac{{10}}{6}$

Therefore, the stone will return in $2 \times \frac{{10}}{6} = \frac{{10}}{3}\sec .$

MCQ 81 Mark
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
  • A
    $h/3$
  • B
    $2h$
  • C
    $h$
  • $0$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$0$
d
(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 $s = a{t^2} + bt + 6$.

MCQ 91 Mark
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 $
  • A
    $4.9$
  • $49$
  • C
    $98$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$49$
b
(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.$

The equation of motion of a particle moving along a straight line is $s = 2$${t^3} - 9{t^2} + 12t$, where the units of  $s $ and  $ t$  are $cm$ and $sec$. The acceleration of the particle will be zero after
  • ${3 \over 2}\,sec$
  • B
    ${2 \over 3}sec$
  • C
    ${1 \over 2}sec$
  • D
    Never
Answer
Correct option: A.
${3 \over 2}\,sec$
a
(a) $\frac{{ds}}{{dt}} = 6{t^2} - 18t + 12$

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 $\frac{3}{2}\,sec.$

A particle is moving on a straight line, where its position $s$ (in metre) is a function of time $ t$  (in seconds) given by $s = a{t^2} + bt + 6,t \ge 0$. 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
  • A
    $ - 1m/{\sec ^2}$
  • ${5 \over 4}m/{\sec ^2}$
  • C
    $ - {1 \over 2}m/{\sec ^2}$
  • D
    $ - {5 \over 4}m/{\sec ^2}$
Answer
Correct 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 $-ve$).

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
  • A
    Proportional to $t$
  • B
    Proportional to $s$
  • Proportional to ${s^{ - 3}}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct 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.
