    1. A motorist traveling at 20 m/s sees a child 50 m ahead and must stop within 10 m. The retardation is -5 m/s^2 and it takes 4 seconds to stop. 2. A car takes 10 seconds to go 30 m and 12 seconds to go 42 m, with uniform acceleration of 0.5 m/s^2. Its velocity after 15 seconds is 8 m/s. 3. A police van chasing a burglar's car that accelerated for 5 seconds at 2 m/s^2 will overtake it after another 5 seconds, since it travels at a uniform 20 m/s.

    ASSIGNMENT 5

    1. On turning a corner, a motorist rushing at 20 m/s, finds a child on the road 50 m


    ahead. He instantly stops the engine and applies brakes, so as to stop the car within
    10 m of the child. Calculate (i) retardation, and (ii) time required to stop the car.

    ANS : a = -5m/s2, t = 4 s

    2. A motor car takes 10 seconds to cover 30 meters and12 seconds to cover 42 meters.
    Find the uniform acceleration of the car and its velocity at the end of 15 seconds.

    ANS : a= 0.5m/s2, u = 0.5m/s, v = 8m/s

    3. A burglar’s car had a start with an acceleration of 2 m/s2. A police vigilant party
    came after 5 seconds and continued to chase the burglar’s car with a uniform
    velocity of 20 m/s. Find the time taken, in which the police van will overtake the
    burglar’s car.

    ANS: t = 5s

    4. A train is uniformly accelerated and passes successive kilometre stones with


    velocities of 18 km.p.h. and 36 km.p.h. respectively. Calculate the velocity, when it
    passes the third kilometre stone. Also find the time taken for each of these two
    intervals of one kilometre.

    ANS: a = 0.0375m/s2, v = 13.2m/s (47.5 km/h), t1 = 133.3 s , t2 = 85.3 s
