$A$ vehicle starts moving in a straight line with an acceleration $a = 4 \,m/s^2$, with initial velocity equal to zero. After accelerating for time $t_1$, the vehicle moves uniformly for time $t_2$, and finally decelerates for time $t_1$, eventually coming to a stop. The total time taken during the motion is $10 \,s$ and the average velocity during the motion is $5.1 \,m/s$. The time taken by the vehicle during acceleration is (in $\,s$)

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    $1.8$

$A$ car accelerates from rest at a constant rate $\alpha$ for some time,after which it decelerates at a constant rate $\beta$ and comes to rest. If the total time elapsed is $t$,then the maximum velocity acquired by the car is

$A$ body $A$ starts from rest with an acceleration $a_{1}$. After two seconds,another body $B$ starts from rest with an acceleration $a_{2}$. If they travel equal distances in the fifth second after the start of $A$,the ratio $a_{1}: a_{2}$ will be equal to:

Two cars $A$ and $B$ are initially at rest at the same point. If car $A$ starts with a uniform velocity of $40\, m/s$ and car $B$ starts in the same direction with a constant acceleration of $4\, m/s^2$,then after how much time will car $B$ catch car $A$?

The position of a particle moving along the $x$-axis is given by $x = (-2t^3 + 3t^2 + 5) \ m$. The acceleration of the particle at the instant its velocity becomes zero is ....... $m/s^2$.
