The velocity $(v)-$ time $(t)$ plot of the motion of a body is shown below:

(image)

The acceleration $(a)-$ time $(t)$ graph that best suits this motion is :

  • A


  • C

  • D

Answer
Correct option: B.

b
Initially, the body has zero velocity and zero slope. Hence the acceleration would be zero initially. After that, the slope of v-t curve is constant and positive.

After some time, velocity becomes constant and acceleration is zero.

After that, the slope of v-t curve is constant and negative.

A bullet from a gun is fired on a rectangular wooden block with velocity $u$.When bullet travels $24\,cm$ through the block along its length horizontally, velocity of bullet becomes $\frac{u}{3}$. Then it further penetrates into the block in the same direction before coming to rest exactly at the other end of the block. The total length of the block is $........\,cm$
  • A
    $30$
  • $27$
  • C
    $24$
  • D
    $28$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$27$
b
By $v^2=u^2+2 a s$

$\left(\frac{u}{3}\right)^2=u^2-2 a x$

$2 a x=u^2-\frac{u^2}{9}$

$2 a x=\frac{8 u^2}{9}.........(1)$

Similarly from starting

$v^2=u^2+2 ax$

$0= u ^2-2 ax _2$

$2 ax _2= u ^2..........(2)$

$By (1) /(2)$

$\frac{ x }{ x _2}=\frac{8}{9}$

$\frac{24}{ x _2}=\frac{8}{9}$

$x _2=27\,cm$

If the velocity of a particle is $v =At+ Bt^2$ ,where $A$ and $B$ are constants, then the distance travelled by it between $1\, s$ and $2\, s$ is
  • A
    $3A+7B$
  • $\frac{3}{2}A + \frac{7}{3}B$
  • C
    $\frac{A}{2} + \frac{B}{3}$
  • D
    $\;\frac{3}{2}A + 4B$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{3}{2}A + \frac{7}{3}B$
b
$V=\alpha t+\beta t^{2}$

$\frac{ ds }{ dt }=\alpha t +\beta t ^{2}$

$\int_{s_{1}}^{s_{2}} d s=\int_{1}^{2}\left(\alpha t+\beta t^{2}\right) d t$

$S_{2}-S_{1}=\left[\frac{\alpha t^{2}}{2}+\frac{\beta t^{3}}{3}\right]_{1}^{2}$

As particle is not changing direction So distance $=$ displacement.

Distance $=\left[\frac{\alpha[4-1]}{2}+\frac{\beta[8-1]}{3}\right]$

$=\frac{3 \alpha}{2}+\frac{7 \beta}{3}$

Given that:

velocity of blocks $=10\,ms ^{-1}$

Friction force between $B$ and $A=20\,N$.

As we know,

Force $=$ mass $\times$ acceloration

So, Friction force between the block $B$ and the ground is zero as acceleration of the blocks is zero as they are moving with constant velocity.

Two cars are moving in the same direction with a speed of $30\ kph$ . They are separated from each other by $5\ km$ . Third car moving in the opposite direction meets the two cars after an interval of $4\ minutes$ . What is the speed of the third car ?..........$km/h$
  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $35$
  • C
    $40$
  • $45$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$45$
d
Using relative speed of third car, we have

$v+30=\frac{5}{\left(\frac{4}{60}\right)}$

$\Rightarrow v+30=\frac{5 \times 60}{4}=75$

$\Rightarrow v=75-30=45 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$

A block is thrown with a velocity of $2 ms^{^{-1}}$ (relative to ground) on a belt, which is moving with velocity $4 ms^{^{-1}}$ in opposite direction of the initial velocity of block. If the block stops slipping on the belt after $4 \,\,sec$ of the throwing then choose the correct statements (s)
  • A
    Displacement with respect to ground is zero in $8/3 \,\,sec$.
  • B
    Magnitude of displacement with respect to ground in $4\,\, sec$ is $4 \,\,m$.
  • C
    Magnitude of displacement with respect to belt in $4\,\, sec$ is $12\,\, m$.
  • All of the above
Answer
Correct option: D.
All of the above
d
Let belt is moving towards left $(4 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})$ and initial velocity of block is towards right $(2\;m/s)$. Now let us assume everthing wrt belt velocity of block will be $6\; \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ towards right and final velocity will be zero. So acceleration is

$1.5 m / s^{2}$

because time taken to stop wrt belt is $4\; sec$. Distance travelled wrt belt is

$S=6 \times 4-\frac{1}{2} \times 1.5 \times 4^{2}=12$

Distance travelled by belt in that time is

$4 \times 4=16$

Now taking direction of movement of belt as positive . Displacement wrt to belt is - $12 \mathrm{m}$. Displacement wrt ground is $(-12+16=4)=4 \mathrm{m}$

Also displacement wrt ground will be zero when

$S=6 \times t-\frac{1}{2} \times 1.5 \times t^{2}-4 \times t=0$

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{8}{3}$

If their acceleration are $0.3$$m/{s^2}$ and $0.2$$m/{s^2}$ respectively, then the time they take to pass each other will be.........$s$
  • A
    $5$
  • $10$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $20$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$10$
b
(b) Relative velocity of one train w.r.t. other

$=10+10=20m/s.$

Relative acceleration $=0.3+0.2=0.5 m/s^2$

If trains cross each other then from $s = ut + \frac{1}{2}a{t^2}$

$As,\;s = {s_1} + {s_2}$$ = 100 + 125 = 225$

==> $225 = 20t + \frac{1}{2} \times 0.5 \times {t^2}$ ==> $0.5{t^2} + 40t - 450 = 0$

==> $t = - \frac{{40 \pm \sqrt {1600 + 4.(005) \times 450} }}{1}$$ = - 40 \pm 50$

$\therefore t = 10\sec $ (Taking +ve value).

  • $t = \frac{{{v_1} - {v_2}}}{a}$
  • B
    ${t_1} = \frac{{v_1^2 - v_2^2}}{2}$

(a) As the trains are moving in the same direction. So the initial relative speed $({v_1} - {v_2})$ and by applying retardation final relative speed becomes zero.

From $v = u - at$ $⇒$ $0 = ({v_1} - {v_2}) - at$ $⇒$ $t = \frac{{{v_1} - {v_2}}}{a}$

  • D
    $250 $
Answer

(a) Effective speed of the bullet = speed of bullet + speed of police jeep

$ = 180\;m/s + 45\;km/h = (180 + 12.5)\;m/s = 192.5\;m/s$

Speed of thief ’s jeep $ = 153\,km/h = 42.5m/s$

Velocity of bullet w.r.t thief ’s car $ = 192.5 - 42.5$

A stone dropped from the top of a tower is found to travel $\left(\frac{5}{9}\right)$ of the height of the tower during the last second of its fall. The time of fall is ....... $s$
  • A
    $2$
  • $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $5$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3$
b
(b)

Let the total height of tower $=H$

Total time of journey $=t$

Time taken to cover the $\frac{5 h}{9}$ is = last second

So, $s_t-s_{t-1}=\frac{5 h}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} g t^2-\frac{1}{2} g(t-1)^2=\frac{5}{9} \times \frac{1}{2} g t^2$ $\left[\because h=\frac{1}{2} g t^2\right]$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} g\left(t^2-t^2-1+2 t\right)=\frac{1}{2} g t^2 \times \frac{5}{9}$

$\Rightarrow (2 t-1)=\frac{5}{9} t^2$

$\Rightarrow 18 t-9=5 t^2$

$\Rightarrow 5 t^2-18 t+9=0$

$\Rightarrow 5 t^2-15 t-3 t+9=0$

$\Rightarrow 5 t(t-3)-3(t-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow(5 t-3)(t-3)=0$

$t=\frac{3}{5}, t=3 s \quad\left(t=\frac{3}{5}\right.$, doesn't satisfy the given criterion, so we neglect it)

A body falling from a vertical height of $10 \,m$ pierces through a distance of $1 \,m$ in sand. It faces an average retardation in sand equal to ( $g$ = acceleration due to gravity)
  • A
    $g$
  • $9 g$
  • C
    $100 g$
  • D
    $1000 g$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$9 g$
b
(b)

If the ball is dropped then $x=0$, the velocity with which it will hit the sand will be given by

$v^2-u^2=2(-g)(-9)$

$v^2-0=18 g$

$v^2=18 g$

Now on striking sand, the body penetrates into sand for $1 m$ and comes to rest. So, $v \rightarrow$ initial for sand and final velocity $=0$

$v^{\prime 2}-v^2=2(a) \times(-1)$

$\Rightarrow -18 g=-2 a$

$\Rightarrow a=9 g$
