(A) 7m/s (B) 9m/s (C) 13m/s (D) None of these
Answer: 1
2 3
Given, x = 3t − 4t + t

At t = 2s,

2 3
T hen, x = 3(2) − 4(2) + (2) = −2

At t = 3s

2 3
x = 3(3) − 4(3) + (3) = 0

At t = 4s

2 3
x = 3(4) − 4(4) + (4) = 12

So, Total displacement of particle from t = 2 to t = 4s is = 12m − (−2m) = 14m

The time interval from t = 2 to t = 4s is = 2s


Then the average velocity of the particle is

26. From a balloon rising vertically upward at 6 m/s a stone is thrown up at 16 m/s relative to the balloon. Its velocity with respect
to the ground after 2 second is:
Success
(A) 10 m / s (B) 4 m / s (C) 6 m / s (D) 2 m / s
Answer: 4
Initial velocity of the balloon w.r.t the ground
u = 6 + 16 = 22m/s

because thrown velocity of stone and balloon is opposite


in direction w.r.t the ground
Velocity after 2 second ⇒ v = u − gt
v = 22 − 10 × 2

v = 22 − 20 = 2m/s

m / s from the bottom of the building. The two balls will meet after
(A) 3 s (B) 2 s (C) 2.5 s (D) 5 s
Answer: 3
Let balls meet after t s.
Distance travelled by the ball coming down is
1 2
s1 = gt
2

Distance travelled by the ball thrown upwards is


1 2
s2 = 40t − gt
2

∵ s1 + s2 = 100m;
1 2 1 2
∴ gt + 40t − gt = 100m

from rest)
(A) 7 m/s (B) 8 m/s (C) 4 m/s (D) 16 m/s
Answer: 2
Maximum speed will occur at t = 4 s, because till then a is positive. Now change in velocity is area under
acceleration time graph, so
1
v4s − 0 = [4 × 4] = 8
2

⇒ v4s = 8 m/s

31. A car starts from rest and accelerates at 5 m/s2 At t = 4s , a ball is dropped out of a window by a person sitting in the car. What
is the velocity and acceleration of the ball at t ? (Take g

2
(B) 20 m/s, 0 (C) 20 √2 m/s, 0 (D) 20 √2 m/s, 10 m/s
2

Answer: 4
Velocity of the car at t = 4 sec is
Vx = at = 4 × 5 = 20 m/s

So horizontal velocity = 20 m/s (remain constant)


Vertical velocity at t = 6 sec
i.e. after 2sec of free fall
Vy = gt = 20 m/s
−−−−−−−− –
So net velocity = √202 + 202 = 20√2 m/s
and once it starts falling acceleration is only ' g '
i.e., 10 m/s2

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

(A) (B) (C) (D)

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
x = 40 + 12t − t . How long would the particle travel before coming to rest?
3

(A) 24 m (B) 40 m (C) 56 m (D) 16 m


Answer: 4
Distance travelled by the particle is x = 40 + 12t − t3
We know that velocity is rate of change of distance
i.e., v =
dx
.
dt
d 3 2
∴ v = (40 + 12t − t ) = 0 + 12 − 3t
dt

but final velocity v = 0

or t2
2 12
12 = 3t = 0 = = 4
3

or t = 2 s
Hence, distance travelled by the particle before coming to rest is given by
3
x = 40 + 12(2) − (2) = 56 m

39. A man in a balloon rising vertically with an acceleration of 5 ms


−2

ground. The greatest height above the ground reached by the ball is : (g = 10 ms

Answer: 1
Height ascended by balloon in 2 s :
1 2
s1 = × 5 × (2) = 10 m
2

Velocity of balloon after 2 s :


v1 = 5 × 2 = 10 m/s

This will also be the velocity of ball when released from balloon. So further maximum height ascended by ball

(10)
s2 = = 5m
2×10

Total height: s = s1 + s2

= 10 + 5 = 15 m

40. A ball is dropped freely from large height while another is thrown vertically downward with an initial velocity ' v ' from the same

42. A body in one dimensional motion has zero speed at an instant. At that instant, it must have
(A) Zero velocity (B) Zero acceleration (C) Non-zero velocity (D) Non-zero acceleration
Answer: 1
Magnitude of velocity = Speed So, if the speed is zero then it must have zero velocity also.

Success
(A) 20m (B) −15m (C) 15m (D) −10m

Answer: 3
Displacement, D = s6 − s3

1 2 1 2
D = [50(6) + (−10)(6) ] − [50(3) + (−10)(3) ]
2 2

⇒ D = [300 − 180] − [150 − 45] = 120 − 105 ⇒ D = 15m

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

(C) Acceleration of the particle increases linearly with x


(D) Velocity of the particle changes by equal amounts in equal intervals of time
Answer: 3
v = v0 + kx (v0 , k are constants, both > 0)

⇒ a =
dv

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

ln v = kt + c

At t = 0, v = v0 ⇒ c = ln v0

v
⇒ ln v = kt + ln v0 ⇒ ln( ) = kt
v0

kt 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)
