1. Engine of a motorcycle can produce a maximum acceleration 5 m/s2. Its brakes can produce a
maximum retardation 10 m/s2. The minimum time, in which it can cover a distance of 1.5 km is:
2. Two cars A and B are travelling in the same direction with velocities v1 and v2 (v1 > v2). When the car
A is distance d ahead of the car B, the driver of the car A applied the brake producing a uniform
retardation a. For which of the following condition, there will be no collision?
3. Velocity of a bullet is reduced from 200 m/s to 100 m/s while travelling through a wooden block of
thickness 10 cm. Assuming it to be uniform, the retardation will be:
(A) 12 × 104 m/s2 (B) 14 × 104 m/s2 (C) 15 × 104 m/s2 (D) 18 × 104 m/s2
4. Body A starts from rest with an acceleration a1. After 2 seconds, another body B starts from rest with
an acceleration a2. If they travel equal distance in the 5th second a1. a2?
5. If a body starts from rest and travels 120 cm in the 6th second, then determine the acceleration.
(A) 0.03 m/s2 (B) 0.20 m/s2 (C) 0.027 m/s2 (D) 0.218 m/s2
6. Which of the following statement is true if a particle moves along x-axis as x = 4(t – 2) + a(t – 2)2 ?
7. A body starts from the origin and moves along the x-axis such that the velocity at any instant is given
by (4t3 – 2t), where t is in second and velocity in m/s. Evaluate the acceleration of the particle, when it
is 2 m from the origin.
8. An elevator car, whose floor to ceiling distance is equal to 2.7 m, starts ascending with constant
acceleration of 1.2 ms–2. 2 seconds after the start, a bolt begins falling from the ceiling of the car. Find
the free fall time of the bolt.
10. The position of a particle moving in the xy-plane at any time t is given by x = (3t2 – 6t) metres, y = (t2 –
2t) metres. Which of the following is the correct statement about the moving particle?
(A) The velocity and acceleration of the particle are never zero
