Single Correct Answer Type 8 Q. [3 M (–1)]
1. The graph shows the variation with time t of the velocity v of an object. Which one of the following
graphs best represents the variation of acceleration ' a' of the object with time t?
(A) (B)
(C) (D)
2. A train moving with a speed of 60 km/hr is slowed down uniformly to 30 km/hr for repair purposes
during running. After this it was accelerated uniformly to reach to its original speed. If the distance
covered during constant retardation be 2 km and that covered during constant acceleration be 1 km, find
the time lost in the above journey
(A) 1 min (B) 2 min (C) 4 min (D) 5 min
3. Car A and B are moving due east and west on the same straight horizontal road. At the last minute the
driver of each car slams on the brakes and a head on collision is narrowly averted. Assuming the east as
the positive direction and location of car A at the moment when brakes are applied to be zero, suggest
which one of the following graphs best represents position (x)-time (t) relationship for each car?
(A) (B)
(C) (D)
4. A train stopping at two stations 5 km apart takes 5 min on the journey from one of the station to the
other. Assuming that its first accelerates with a uniform acceleration a and then that of uniform retardation
b. if units of mass, length, and time are kg, km and min respectively then

(A) a + b = 2 (B) a + b = 5 (C) a + b = 2 (D) a + b = 2
5. A motorist traveling with a constant speed passes a school-crossing corner. Just as the motorist
passes, a police officer on a motorcycle standing at the corner starts off in pursuit with constant
acceleration. Four possible vx – t graphs are shown for the two vehicles in example. Which graph
may be correct :-

11. A man in a lift ascending with an upward acceleration 'a' throws a ball vertically upwards with velocity
'v' and catches it after t1 second. Afterwards, when the lift is descending with the same acceleration 'a'
acting downwards, the man again throws the ball vertically upwards with the same velocity and catches
it after t2 second. Which of the following statement(s) are correct ?
(A) The velocity of the ball is g(t1 + t2)/t1t2 (B) The velocity of the ball is gt1t2/(t1 + t2)
