The velocity $(v)-$ time $(t)$ plot of the motion of a body is shown below:

(image)

The acceleration $(a)-$ time $(t)$ graph that best suits this motion is :

  • A


  • C

  • D

Answer
Correct option: B.

b
Initially, the body has zero velocity and zero slope. Hence the acceleration would be zero initially. After that, the slope of v-t curve is constant and positive.

After some time, velocity becomes constant and acceleration is zero.

After that, the slope of v-t curve is constant and negative.

A bullet from a gun is fired on a rectangular wooden block with velocity $u$.When bullet travels $24\,cm$ through the block along its length horizontally, velocity of bullet becomes $\frac{u}{3}$. Then it further penetrates into the block in the same direction before coming to rest exactly at the other end of the block. The total length of the block is $........\,cm$
  • A
    $30$
  • $27$
  • C
    $24$
  • D
    $28$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$27$
b
By $v^2=u^2+2 a s$

$\left(\frac{u}{3}\right)^2=u^2-2 a x$

$2 a x=u^2-\frac{u^2}{9}$

$2 a x=\frac{8 u^2}{9}.........(1)$

Similarly from starting

$v^2=u^2+2 ax$

$0= u ^2-2 ax _2$

$2 ax _2= u ^2..........(2)$

$By (1) /(2)$

$\frac{ x }{ x _2}=\frac{8}{9}$

$\frac{24}{ x _2}=\frac{8}{9}$

$x _2=27\,cm$

If the velocity of a particle is $v =At+ Bt^2$ ,where $A$ and $B$ are constants, then the distance travelled by it between $1\, s$ and $2\, s$ is
  • A
    $3A+7B$
  • $\frac{3}{2}A + \frac{7}{3}B$
  • C
    $\frac{A}{2} + \frac{B}{3}$
  • D
    $\;\frac{3}{2}A + 4B$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{3}{2}A + \frac{7}{3}B$
b
$V=\alpha t+\beta t^{2}$

$\frac{ ds }{ dt }=\alpha t +\beta t ^{2}$

$\int_{s_{1}}^{s_{2}} d s=\int_{1}^{2}\left(\alpha t+\beta t^{2}\right) d t$

$S_{2}-S_{1}=\left[\frac{\alpha t^{2}}{2}+\frac{\beta t^{3}}{3}\right]_{1}^{2}$

As particle is not changing direction So distance $=$ displacement.

Distance $=\left[\frac{\alpha[4-1]}{2}+\frac{\beta[8-1]}{3}\right]$

$=\frac{3 \alpha}{2}+\frac{7 \beta}{3}$

The average speed of the particle is ....... $m / s$

b
(b)

From $C$ to $B$ the time interval of travelling is same.

So, $v_{ av }=\frac{v_2+v_3}{2}=\frac{2+4}{2}=3 \,m / s$

Now, first half is covered with $6 \,ms ^{-1}$ and second half with $3 \,ms ^{-1}$. So when distances are same.

$v_{ av }=\frac{2 v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}=\frac{2 \times 6 \times 3}{6+3}=4 \,ms ^{-1}$

$v_{ av }=4 \,ms ^{-1}$

    The initial velocity of particle is $4$
  • The acceleration of particle is $2a$
  • C
    The particle is at origin at $t = 0$
  • D

A particle is projected with velocity ${\upsilon _0}$ along $x - axis$. The deceleration on the particle is proportional to the square of the distance from the origin i.e., $a = \alpha {x^2}.$ The distance at which the particle stops is
  • A
    $\sqrt {\frac{{3{\upsilon _0}}}{{2\alpha }}} $
  • B
    ${\left( {\frac{{3{v_o}}}{{2\alpha }}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt {\frac{{3\upsilon {}_0^2}}{{2\alpha }}} $
  • ${\left( {\frac{{3\upsilon {}_0^2}}{{2\alpha }}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
${\left( {\frac{{3\upsilon {}_0^2}}{{2\alpha }}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$
d
(d) $a = \frac{{dv}}{{dt}} = \frac{{dv}}{{dx}}\frac{{dx}}{{dt}}$ $ = v\frac{{dv}}{{dx}} = - \alpha {x^2}$ (given)

==> $\int\limits_{{v_0}}^0 {vdv = - \alpha \int\limits_0^S {{x^2}dx} } $ ==> $\left[ {\frac{{{v^2}}}{2}} \right]_{{v_0}}^0 = - \alpha \left[ {\frac{{{x^3}}}{3}} \right]_0^S$

==> $\frac{{v_0^2}}{2} = \frac{{\alpha \,{S^3}}}{3}$==> $S = {\left( {\frac{{3v_0^2}}{{2\alpha }}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

The displacement of a particle moving in a straight line depends on time as $x=\alpha t^3+\beta t^2+\gamma t+\delta$.The ratio of initial acceleration to its initial velocity depends
  • A
    only on $\alpha$ and $\gamma$
  • only on $\beta$ and $\gamma$
  • C
    only on $\alpha$ and $\beta$
  • D
    only on $\alpha$
Answer
Correct option: B.
only on $\beta$ and $\gamma$
b
(b)

$v=3 \alpha t^2+2 \beta t+\gamma$

$v_{t=0}=v_i=\gamma$

$a=6 \alpha t+2 \beta: a_{t=0}=a_i=2 \beta$

$\therefore \frac{v_i}{a_i}=\frac{\gamma}{2 \beta}$

 Three particles start simultaneously from a point on a horizontal smooth plane. First particle moves with speed $v_1$ towards east, second particle moves towards north with speed $v_2$ and third-one moves towards north-east. The velocity of the third particle, so that the three always lie on a line, is
  • A
    $\frac{v_1+v_2}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{v_1 v_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}$
  • $\sqrt{2} \frac{v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\sqrt{2} \frac{v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}$
d
(d)

Equation of line $R S$ is $y=-m x+C$

Or $y=-\left(\frac{v_2}{v_1}\right) x+v_2 t$

or $\quad v_1 y=-v_2 x+v_1 v_2 t$

Equation of line $O P$ is

$y=x$

Point $P$ is the point of intersection, we get

$x_P=y_P=\frac{v_1 v_2 t}{v_1+v_2}$

$O P=\sqrt{x_P^2+y_P^2}$

$=\frac{\sqrt{2} v_1 v_2 t}{v_1+v_2}$

$v_3=\frac{O P}{t}=\frac{\sqrt{2} v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}$

Mark the correct statements for a particle going on a straight line
  • A
    if the position and velocity have opposite sign, the particle is moving towards the origin
  • B
    if the velocity is zero for a time interval, the acceleration is zero at any instant within the time interval
  • C
    if the velocity and acceleration have opposite sign, the object is slowing down
  • All of the above
Answer
Correct option: D.
All of the above
d
All options are correct except $C$ because, if the velocity is zero at an instant, then acceleration may not necessarily be zero at that instant.

For e.g. when an object is thrown vertically upward, at highest point velocity is zero but acceleration on it due to gravity is non-zero.

Option $D$ is correct as the derivative of velocity will be zero in case velocity is zero for a time interval,
