When two bodies moves uniformly towards each her then they cross each other at the speed of $10\ m/s$. If both the bodies move in the same direction, then they cross each other at the speed of 6m/s. The speed of both bodies are:
- ✓
$8\ m/s, 2\ m/s$
- B
$8\ m/s, 4\ m/s$
- C
$6\ m/s, 2\ m/s$
- D
$6\ m/s, 4\ m/s$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $8\ m/s, 2\ m/s$
Let the objects speed be $x$ and $y$ respectively, when moving towards each other:
$x + y = 10 ...(1)$
and, when moving in same direction
$x - y = 6 ...(2)$
now,
adding $1$ and $2$ we get
$2x = 16m/s$
$x = 8m/s$
and,
putting this in $1$
$y = 2m/s$
The speed of the bodies is $8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ and $2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$.

A bridge is 400m long. A $150\ m$ long train crosses the bridge at a speed of 50\ m/s. Time taken by the train to cross it.
AnswerTrain Length $= 150m$
Bridge length $= 400m$
Distance covered by train to cross bridge = Train Length + Bridge length
$= 150 + 400$
$= 550m$
$\text{Speed of train}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
So,
$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed of train}}$
$=\frac{550}{50}$
$=11\text{sec}$
Time taken by the train to cross a bridge is $11sec.$

A body moving at constant speed in a circular path experiences an acceleration directed towards the centre of the circular path. This acceleration is called a centripetal acceleration and is provided by a centripetal force.
Uniform circular motion can be well$-$illustrated by swinging a tennis ball on a string in a circle over your head at a constant speed. The acceleration vector is considered variable because its direction changes, even though its magnitude is constant.
Thus, for a given angular velocity $ω$, the linear velocity $v$ of the particle is directly proportional to the distance of the particle from the centre of the circular path $($i.e$)$ for a body in a uniform circular motion, the angular velocity is the same for all points in the body but linear velocity is different.

A bus begin to move with an acceleration of $1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$. A man who is 48m behind the bus starts running at $10\ m/s$ to catch the bus. The man will be able to catch the bus after.
AnswerVelocity of man $= 10\ m/s$
$s = 48m$
Acceleration of man with respect to bus = Acceleration of man - Acceleration of bus
$= 0 - (1) = - 1m/s$
Applying second equation of motion,
$\text{s}=\text{ut}+\frac{1}{2}\text{at}^{2}$
$48=10\text{t}-\frac{1}{2}\text{t}^{2}$
solving we get,
$t = 12sec$ or $t = 8sec$

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}$
$\mathrm{u}=\text { initial velocity }=0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sa}=\text { acceleration }=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$

$8.94=0+1 \times \mathrm{t}_1$
$\mathrm{t}_1=8.94 \mathrm{~s}$
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:

- 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
AnswerCorrect 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.

A sprinter has to cover a total run of $100\ m$. She increases her speed from rest under a uniform acceleration of $1.0m/s^2$ up to three quarters of the total run and covers the last quarter him uniform speed. The time she takes to cover the first half, and to cover the second half of the run will be.
- A
$3.25s.$
- ✓
$4.28s.$
- C
$5.25s.$
- D
$6.25s.$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $4.28s.$
Here, total distance $= 100m$ For the first half of run,
distance $= 50m u = Om/s, a = m/s^2$
So by $\text{s}=\text{ut}+\frac{1}{2}\text{at}^{2}$
$50=0+\frac{1}{2}\times1\times\text{t}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{t}=10\text{sec}$ At the end of $50m, v = u + at = 0 + 1 x 10 = 10m/s $ For the second half of run,
we calculate fors $= 25m$ first(uni formly accelerated motion)
Here $u = 10m/s, a = 1m/s^2$
So, $v^2 = u^2 + 2as = 100 + 2 \times 1 \times 25 = 150$
For time $t, v = u + at $
$\Rightarrow 12.24 = 10 + t 1 = 2.24sec$
For the last $25m$
$\text{t}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}$
$=\frac{25}{12.24}=2.04\text{sec}$
Hence time taken for the first half of run$(50m) = 10sec$
time taken for the second half of run$(50m) = 2.24 + 2.04 = 4.28sec$

Answer - 8m/s, 2m/s
Explanation:
Let the objects speed be x and y respectively, when moving towards each other:
x + y = 10 ...(1)
and, when moving in same direction
x - y = 6 ...(2)
now,
adding 1 and 2 we get
2x = 16m/s
x = 8m/s
and,
putting this in 1
y = 2m/s
The speed of the bodies is 8m/s2 and 2m/s2.

Explanation:
A body moving at constant speed in a circular path experiences an acceleration directed towards the centre of the circular path. This acceleration is called a centripetal acceleration and is provided by a centripetal force.
Uniform circular motion can be well-illustrated by swinging a tennis ball on a string in a circle over your head at a constant speed. The acceleration vector is considered variable because its direction changes, even though its magnitude is constant.
Thus, for a given angular velocity ω, the linear velocity v of the particle is directly proportional to the distance of the particle from the centre of the circular path (i.e) for a body in a uniform circular motion, the angular velocity is the same for all points in the body but linear velocity is different.

Answer - Angular speed
Explanation:
As an object moves around in a circle at constant speed (uniform circular motion), both the velocity and the acceleration change.
The magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration don't change, but since velocity and acceleration are vectors, the fact that their directions change means that they change.
Momentum is directly proportional to the velocity of the body and hence it changes.

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
- C
A car slowing down as it moves northward
- D
A car slowing down as it moves southward
Answer - A car slowing down as it moves northward
Explanation:
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.

A sprinter has to cover a total run of 100m. She increases her speed from rest under a uniform acceleration of 1.0m/s2 up to three quarters of the total run and covers the last quarter him uniform speed. The time she takes to cover the first half, and to cover the second half of the run will be.
AnswerHere, total distance = 100m
For the first half of run, distance = 50m
u = Om/s, a = m/s2
So by
$\text{s}=\text{ut}+\frac{1}{2}\text{at}^{2}$
$50=0+\frac{1}{2}\times1\times\text{t}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{t}=10\text{sec}$
At the end of 50m,
v = u + at = 0 + 1 x 10 = 10m/s
For the second half of run, we calculate fors
= 25m first(uni formly accelerated motion)
Here u = 10m/s, a = 1m/s2
So, v2 = u2 + 2as = 100 + 2 × 1 × 25 = 150
For time t, v = u + at
⇒ 12.24 = 10 + t
1 = 2.24sec
For the last 25m
$\text{t}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}$
$=\frac{25}{12.24}=2.04\text{sec}$
Hence time taken for the first half of run(50m) = 10sec
time taken for the second half of run(50m)
= 2.24 + 2.04 = 4.28sec

- C
$\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2\pi}$
- D
$\frac{3\pi}{2\sqrt{2}}$
Answer- $\frac{3\pi}{2\sqrt{2}}$
Explanation:
Let Partical start from A. then after covering $\frac{3}{4}$ of circle it would be at B.
So, Distence covred.
$1\text{ circle}=2\pi\text{r}\text{ units}.$
$\frac{3}{4}\text{ circle}=\frac{3}{4}\times2\pi\text{r}=\frac{3\pi\text{r}}{2}\text{units}$
Displacement:
Here, displacement will be line joining A to B.
So, by pythagoras theorem.
$\text{AB}=\sqrt{\text{r}^2+\text{r}^2}$
$=\text{r}\sqrt{2}$
So, Ratio of distance and displace will be
$\frac{3\pi\text{r}}{2}\times\frac{1}{\text{r}\sqrt{2}}=3\times\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{33}{7\sqrt{2}}$
So, ratio will be $3\pi:2\sqrt{2}$

A 100m sprinter increases her speed from rest uniformly at the rate of 1m/s2 upto 40m and covers the remaining distance with a uniform speed. The sprinter covers the first half of the run in t1s and second half in t2s, then.
- A
- B
- C
- D
Information given is incomplete.
Answer - t1 > t2
Explanation:
For the first 40m
Using the third equation of motion: v2 - u2 = 2as
where: s = distance covered = 40mv = final velocity = ? m/su = initial velocity = 0m/sa = acceleration = 1m/s2
v2 - u2 = 2as
v2 - 0 = 2 × 1 × 40
v2 = 80
v = 8.94m/s
Using the first equation of motion v = u + at
where:
v = final velocity = 8.94m/s
u = initial velocity = 0m/sa = acceleration = 1m/s2
t1 = time = ?s
v = u + at1
8.94 = 0 + 1 × t1
t1 = 8.94s
Here its given the speed is uniform not velocity, therefore
acceleration will be 1m/s2 and speed will be 8.94m/s everywhere.
Using the third equation of motion: v2 - u2 = 2as
where
s = distance covered
= 60mv = final velocity = ??m/su
= initial velocity = 8.94m/sa
= acceleration = 1 m/s2
v2 - u2 = 2as
v2 - (8.94)2 = 2 × 1 × 60
v2 - 80 = 120
v2 = 120 + 80 = 200
v = 14.14m/s Using the first equation of motion
v = u + at
where:
v = final velocity = 14.14m/s
u = initial velocity = 8.94m/sa = acceleration = 1m/s2
t2 = time = ?s
v = u + at2
14.14 = 8.94 + 1 × t2
t2 = 14.14 - 8.94
t2 = 5.2 secs.

(1) In uniform circular motion, tangential acceleration is zero (2)In uniform circular motion, velocity is constant.
- A
Both 1 and 2 are true and 2 is correct explanation of 1
- B
Both 1 and 2 are true and 2 is not correct explanation of 1
- C
- D
Answer - 1 is true and 2 is false
Explanation:
In uniform circular motion tangential acceleration is zero because angular velocity of motion is constant.
And the speed is uniform. But velocity of the particle in uniform circular motion keeps on changing.
