Chapter 1

Motion in a Straight Line

1. Answer (2) 3. Answer (3)
From v = u + at Till both are in air (From t = 0 to t = 8 second)
v=0–g×t x = x2 – x1 = 30t
 v = –gt  x  t
And just after collision velocity is upwarded then When second stone hits ground and first stone is
after some time it becomes zero and then negative. in air x decreases.
Same process repeats.

5. Answer (2)
Options (1), (3) and (4) correspond to uniformly
accelerated motion in a straight line with positive
initial velocity and constant negative acceleration,
So, graph will be downward parabola. whereas option (2) does not correspond to this
