Three Equation of Motion

Daily Practice Problem (DPP 2)

1. A particle, after starting from rest, experiences, constant acceleration for 20 seconds. If it covers a
distance of S1, in first 10 seconds and distance S2 in next 10 sec, then
(A) S2 = S1/2 (B) S2 = S1 (C) S2 = 2S1 (D) S2 = 3S1
2. A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate  for some time after which it decelerates at a constant
rate  to come to rest. The maximum velocity v reached if total time taken (t seconds) is given by -

  2   2    
(A) v  t (B) v  t   (C) v  t   (D) v  t  
    
3. A body travelling with uniform acceleration crosses two points A and B with velocities 20 m/sec and 30
m/sec respectively. Then the speed of the body at mid-point of A and B is -
(A) 25 m/sec (B) 25.5 m/sec (C) 24 m/sec (D) 10 6 m/sec
4. A car moving along a straight highway with speed of 126 kmh–1 is brought to rest within a distance of
200 m. What is the retardation of car (assumed uniform), and how long does it take for the car to stop?
5. Brakes are applied to a train travelling at 72 kmh–1. After passing over 200 m. Its velocity is reduce to
36 kmh–1. At the same rate of retardation. How much further will it go before it is brought to stop it.
6. A motorist while driving a speed of 72 km/hr sees a boy standing on the road at a distance of 52 m. He
applies the brake and stops his car at a distance of 2 m from the boy. Find the acceleration caused due
to the application of brake and time taken to stop the car.
7. A car accelerates from rest at constant rate  for some time after which it decelerates at a constant

rate  to come to rest. If the total time elapsed is t seconds, calculate (a) the maximum velocity reached
(b) the total distance travelled.
