Time 1 hr mins

1. What do you understand by the following terms:

1. Uniform Motion
2. Velocity
3. Acceleration
4. Distance
2. Write a note comparing speed and velocity. In what situation will speed be constant but not
velocity? Is this situation possible without a force?
3. What is uniform velocity, variable velocity and average velocity?
4. A bullet initially moving with a velocity 20 m/s strikes a target and comes to rest after
penetrating a distance 10 cm in the target. The retardation caused by the target is:____
5. What do the slope and area of velocity time graph tell you?
6. A car travels rst 30km with a uniform speed of 60km h- and then next 30km with a uniform
speed of 40 km h1. Calculate: (i) the total time of journey, (il) the average speed of the car
7. A Stone is thrown Up, what is the velocity, acceleration at the top and what direction?
8. A Jeep starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5.21 seconds for a distance of
110m. Determine the acceleration of the Jeep.
9. Derive the equations of motion using calculus.
10. A stone is thrown vertically upwards with a initial speed of 10 m/s from the edge of the roof of
the house of Height H=20 m
1. how long does it takes for the stone to hit the ground
2. At what velocity it will hit the ground
11. Find the derivative of the following functions with respect to t:
1. 5t5 - 3t4 + 6t2
2. 3et + 4t-4
3. sin t + cos2t + sin t. cos t
12. A ball is dropped vertically from a height h above the ground .It hits the ground and bounces
up vertically to a height h/2.Neglecting subsequent motion and air resistance ,its velocity v
varies with the height h as:
