36. A ball is dropped vertically from a height d above the ground. It hits the ground and bounces up vertically to a height d/2 ,
Neglecting subsequent motion and air resistance, its velocity v varies with height h above the ground as
Answer: 1
(i) For uniformly accelerated/deaccelerated motion, v2 = u2 ± 2gh
i.e., v - h graph will be a parabola (because the equation is quadratic).
(ii) Initially, velocity is downwards (-ve) and then after the collision it reverses its direction with lesser magnitude. i.e., velocity is
upwards (+ve). Graph (a) satisfies both these conditions.
Note that time t = 0 corresponds to the point on the graph where h = d .
37. Two stations A and B are 110 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from A at 7 a. m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph
. Another train starts from B at 8 a. m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph . At what time will they meet?
Success
(A) 9a. m. (B) 10a. m. (C) 10.30a. m. (D) 11a. m.
Answer: 2
Suppose they meet x hours after 7a. m.
Distance covered by A in x hours = 20 x km .
Distance covered by B in ( x − 1) hours = 25 ( x − 1 ) km .
∴ 20x + 25 ( x − 1 ) = 110 ⇔ 45x = 135 ⇒ x = 3 .
So, they meet at 10a. m .
38. A particle moves along a straight line OX . At a time t (in seconds) the distance x (in metres) of the particle is given by

Hence, distance travelled by the particle before coming to rest is given by

44. Slope of v − x graph ( v = velocity, x = position coordinate ) of a particle moving along x-axis is a straight line with positive
slope and positive intercept.
(A) Particle is performing uniformly accelerated motion (B) Acceleration of the particle, a 2
∝ x
⇒ a =

= kv = k (v0 + kx) . ⇒ acceleration of the particle increases linearly with x
Option (a) is wrong, option (b) is wrong, option (c) is correct.

⇒ = kdt

ln v = kt + c
At t = 0, v = v0 ⇒ c = ln v0
v
⇒ ln v = kt + ln v0 ⇒ ln( ) = kt

⇒ v = v0 e ⇒ a = kv0 e
Since, acceleration of the particle is variable, so velocity of the particle does NOT change by equal amounts in equal intervals of
time. Option (d) is wrong. Ans: (c)
