Answer
Correct 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 $2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$.

    Only $A$ is correct.
  • B
    Only $B$ is correct.
  • Only $C$ is correct.
  • D
    All the three are correct.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Only $C$ is correct.
For the statement$(A):\ $ Displacement in $(0 - 4)s$ increasing and Displacement in $(4 - 6)s$ is Constant. So, both the displacement of time $(0 - 4)s$ and $(4 - 6)s$ are not equal to each other.
For the statement$(B):\ $
Acceleration$(OA) =\frac{10}{4}=2.5\text{ ms}$
Acceleration$(AB) =\frac{10}{(4+6)}=1\text{ ms}$
For the statement$(C):\ $As we see that in the graph, part $BC$ is decreasing simultaneously from $10\ m$ to $0$. Hence, Statement $C$ is the correct one.

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.
  • $8s$
  • B
    $5s$
  • C
    $6s$
  • D
    $7s$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$8s$

Velocity 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,
$\text{s}=\text{ut}+\frac{1}{2}\text{at}^{2}$
$48=10\text{t}-\frac{1}{2}\text{t}^{2}$

  • $t_1>t_2$
  • 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:
$\mathrm{v}=\text { final velocity }=14.14 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
$\mathrm{u}=\text { initial velocity }=8.94 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sa}=\text { acceleration }=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
$\mathrm{t}_2=\text { time }=? \mathrm{~s}$
$\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{u}+\mathrm{at}_2$
$14.14=8.94+1 \times \mathrm{t}_2$
$\mathrm{t}_2=14.14-8.94$
$\mathrm{t}_2=5.2 \text { secs. }$

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
    $6.25s.$
Answer
Correct 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$(50m) = 2.24 + 2.04 = 4.28sec$

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.
  • A
    Will move forward.
  • B
    Will move backward.
  • C
    Will remain state.
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
  1. Will move forward.

Explanation:

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.

    All the three are correct.
Answer
  1. Only C is correct.

Explanation:

For the statement(A): Displacement in (0 - 4)s increasing and Displacement in (4 - 6)s is Constant. So, both the displacement of time (0 - 4)s and (4 - 6)s are not equal to each other.

For the statement(B):

Acceleration(OA) $=\frac{10}{4}=2.5\text{ms}$

Acceleration(AB) $=\frac{10}{(4+6)}=1\text{ms}$

For the statement(C): As we see that in the graph, part BC is decreasing simultaneously from 10m to 0. Hence, Statement C is the correct one.

              Answer
              1. +0.5m/s2

              Explanation:

              The term ''retardation'' means negative acceleration.

              Initial velocity = 10m/s

              Final velocity = 0m/s

              Time taken = 20s

              Acceleration $=\frac{0-10}{20}$

              ⇒ Acceleration = -0.5m/s2

                        Answer
                        1. 1m/s2

                        Explanation:

                        Final velocity = 72km/h = 20m/s

                        Initial velocity is 36km/h = 10m/s

                        Time taken is 10 sec. So,

                        Acceleration $=\frac{20-10}{10}$

                        $=1\text{m/s}^2$

                                  We have,

                                  Initial velocity = 20m/s

                                  Final velocity = 0m/s

                                  Time taken = 5 sec.

                                  So,

                                  Deceleration = -Acceleration

                                  $= \frac{-(0 - 20)}{5}$

                                          Answer
                                          1. Direction of motion changes

                                          Explanation:

                                          Uniform circular motion is accelerated because the velocity changes due to continuous change in the direction of motion.

                                          Thus, for a body moving in a circular path at a constant speed, its velocity changes continuously.

                                          The change in velocity gives rise to an acceleration in the moving body.

                                          Answer
                                          1. 'A', 'B' and 'C' all are true statements.

                                          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
                                          1. v = 0 at, t = 0.

                                          Explanation:

                                          No, when a body is under uniform acceleration doesn't mean that it is under uniform motion. Uniform acceleration means, that the velocity of body is changing with a constant rate. Uniform motion is the kind of motion in which a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. It means that speed is constant.

                                          1. 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.

                                          In the uniform circular motion, the angular speed is same for all the particles,

                                          1. Higher the velocity

                                          Explanation:

                                          The slope of a displacement-time graph with time axis measures velocity.

                                          Larger slope (steeper graph) means the displacement is changing with a faster rate with respect to the time.

                                          Faster rate of change of change of distance with respect to time simply means the body has a larger velocity.

                                          Explanation:

                                          Yes it is possible. Let us take an example, circular motion.

                                          In this it has acceleration because direction of motion is changing but it has constant speed  along tangential.

                                          Hence it is possible.

                                          Is it possible for an object's velocity to increase while its acceleration decreases?
                                          • A
                                            No, this is impossible because of the way in which acceleration is defined.
                                          • B
                                            No, because if acceleration is decreasing the object will be slowing down.
                                          • C
                                            No, because velocity and acceleration must always be in the same direction.
                                          • D
                                            Yes, an example would be a falling object in a viscous medium, where the acceleration continuously decreases but velocity increases until a certain point.

                                          1. Speed is constant but velocity changes

                                          Explanation:

                                          In a Uniform Circular Motion, the magnitude of velocity, which is speed remains constant.

                                          But the direction of velocity, which is tangential to the circle, keeps changing.

                                          So velocity also changes.

                                          1. Both acceleration and speed are constant

                                          Explanation:

                                          For a body moving in uniform circular motion the speed attained  by the object will remain constant not the velocity as velocity depends on the direction of motion, and in circular motion the direction of the object changes at every point.

                                          As speed remains constant the acceleration will remain constant.

                                          Explanation:

                                          Acceleration of a body is defined as the rate of change of the velocity of the body.

                                          Now since the velocity doesn't change at all, the rate of change will be zero.

                                          So, acceleration = 0

                                          1. Uniform acceleration.

                                          Explanation:

                                          Velocity is measured in terms of distance per second, while acceleration is measured in terms of distance per square second.

                                          Hence, uniform acceleration is the correct answer.

                                          1. Uniform acceleration

                                          Explanation:

                                          When the rate of change of velocity with time of a body is constant then the object is said to be uniformly accelerated.

                                          Or in other words in uniform acceleration, the displacement of an object is proportional to square of time.

                                            A car slowing down as it moves southward
                                          Answer
                                          1. 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.

                                          Explanation:

                                          When a particle is under uniform circular motion, its direction of motion continuously changes, hence the magnitude of its velocity remains constant while its direction changes.

                                          1. Stationary

                                          Explanation:

                                          Displacement-time graph being parallel to the time axis, its slope is zero.

                                          Slope of a displacement-time graph measures velocity.

                                          So, velocity of the object is zero.

                                          Using first equation of motion 

                                          v = u + at, we have

                                          0 = 20 + (−5)t

                                          ⇒ 5t = 20

                                          Explanation:

                                          We know that Speed (v)

                                          $=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

                                          Here, Distance = Circumference of the circular path

                                          $=2\pi\text{r}$

                                          $=\frac{2\times22}{7\times21}=132$

                                          and, Speed

                                          $=2\text{sec}$

                                          This gives, Time

                                          $=\frac{132}{2}=66\text{m/sec}$

                                          Total time $=66\text{Sec}$

                                          then time taken by the body to complete half revolution is:

                                          $=\frac{66}{2}=33\text{sec}$

                                          1. Its velocity

                                          Explanation:

                                          Velocity is a vector.

                                          So, it gives the magnitude of speed and the direction of motion of the body as well.

                                          Speed being a scalar, does not give the direction of motion.

                                          Answer
                                          1. Velocity determines direction of motion of a body

                                          Explanation:

                                          Velocity, being a vector, gives the direction of the change of position of a body.

                                          Hence it determines the direction of motion of a body.

                                          In contrast, acceleration doesn't need to relate to the direction of motion.

                                          1. 0

                                          Explanation:

                                          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.

                                          Answer
                                          1. The stone flies off tangential to the circle of rotation

                                          Explanation:

                                          When a stone is going around a circular path, the instantaneous velocity of stone is acting as tangent to the circle.

                                          When the string breaks, the centripetal force stops to act.

                                          Due to inertia, the stone continues to move along the tangent to circular path.

                                          So, the stone flies off tangentially to the circular path

                                          Answer
                                          Here, 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

                                          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.

                                            Explanation:
                                            Given, after half the circle, the particle will reach the diametrically opposite point i.e., from point A to point 6. And we know displacement is shortest path between initial and final point.
                                            Displacement after half circle = AB = OA + OB [v Given, OA and 06 = r]
                                            Hence, the displacement after half circle is 2r.

                                          Explanation:

                                          The ball initially will have the same velocity as that of the balloon.

                                          Using the equations of motion, taking velocity to be positive upwards and negative downwards.

                                          v = u + at

                                          v = 2 −g(1)

                                          v = 7.8m/ s

                                          Average Speed $=\frac{(10\text{m}+20\text{m}+30\text{m})}{(5\text{s}+10\text{s}+10\text{s})}$

                                          Average Speed $=\frac{60\text{m}}{25\text{s}}=2.4\text{m/s}$

                                          1. $\frac{1}{2}\text{h}$

                                          Explanation:

                                          $\text{S}_{\text{B}}=70\text{t}-\frac{1}{2}(20)\text{t}^{2}$

                                          $\text{S}_{\text{A}}=60\text{t}$

                                          $\text{S}_{\text{B}}-\text{S}_{\text{A}}=2.5\text{km}$

                                          $70\text{t}-10\text{t}^{2}-60\text{t}=2.5$

                                          $\Rightarrow10\text{t}^{2}-10\text{t}+2.5=0$

                                          $\Rightarrow 4\text{t}^{2}-4\text{t}+1=0$

                                          $\Rightarrow(2\text{t}-1)^{2}=0$

                                          $\Rightarrow\text{t}=\frac{1}{2}\text{hr}=30\text{min}.$

                                          1. 18km/h.

                                          Explanation:

                                          If total distance is S then

                                          Average speed

                                          $=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{time}}$

                                          $=\frac{\text{S}}{(\text{t}_{1}+\text{t}_{2})}$

                                          $=\text{S}\ \frac{\text{S}}{(3\times10)}+\frac{\text{S}}{(4\times20)}+\frac{5\text{S}}{(12\times40)}$

                                          $\therefore\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

                                          $=\frac{1}{\big(30+1\frac{1}{80}+\frac{5}{480}\big)}=17.7\text{kmph}$

                                          1. 8s

                                          Explanation:

                                          Velocity of man = 10m/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

                                          therefore the minimum time is 8 seconds.

                                          1. 11s

                                          Explanation:

                                          Train 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.

                                          1. Its velocity decreases by 1ms−1 per second

                                          Explanation:

                                          Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

                                          Positive acceleration means increase in velocity with time and negative acceleration means decrease in velocity per unit time.

                                          Negative acceleration is also called retardation.

                                          So retardation means rate of decrease of velocity per second.

                                            $\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3\pi}$

                                            $\frac{3\pi}{2\sqrt{2}}$
                                          Answer
                                          1. $\frac{3\pi}{2\sqrt{2}}$
                                            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 $3\pi:2\sqrt{2}$
                                            or, simplified $33:7\sqrt{3}$

                                          1. A radial acceleration

                                          Explanation:

                                          Velocity is not constant since the direction of the ball changes every instance.

                                          The ball has radial acceleration since there is a centripetal force acting on it towards the center.

                                          Ball moving in a circular path has tangential velocity.Cutting the thread, the ball moves tangentially

                                          Explanation:

                                          A body is thrown vertically upward.

                                          at maximum height velocity of body = 0

                                          use kinematics formula ,

                                          v² = u² + 2as 

                                          Here,

                                          v = 0

                                          a = -g

                                          s = H

                                          0 = u² - 2gH

                                          $\text{H}=\frac{\text{u}^2}{2\text{g}}$

                                          Hence, maximum height attained by body $\frac{\text{u}^2}{2\text{g}}$

                                          1. constant velocity and a varying speed

                                          Explanation:

                                          Speed of body is magnitude of velocity. So if velocity is only changing direction then speed is constant.

                                          But if speed is changing then velocity have to be varying.

                                          When a body starts moving the incident when t=0 then it have zero velocity but some acceleration is there.

                                          Object moving with constant velocity has zero acceleration but non zero speed.

                                          1. 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

                                          v- 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.

                                          Answer
                                          1. 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.
