$A$ 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
    $\left( \frac{\alpha^2 + \beta^2}{\alpha \beta} \right) t$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{\alpha^2 - \beta^2}{\alpha \beta} \right) t$
  • C
    $\frac{(\alpha + \beta) t}{\alpha \beta}$
  • D
    $\frac{\alpha \beta t}{\alpha + \beta}$

$A$ driver applies the brakes on seeing the red traffic signal $400 \ m$ ahead. At the time of applying brakes,the vehicle was moving with $15 \ m/s$ and retarding at $0.3 \ m/s^2$. The distance of the vehicle from the traffic light one minute after the application of brakes is: (in $m$)

$A$ particle starts with an initial velocity of $10.0 \, m/s$ along the $x$-direction and accelerates uniformly at the rate of $2.0 \, m/s^2$. The time taken by the particle to reach the velocity of $60.0 \, m/s$ is $....... \, s$.

Consider a vehicle moving with a velocity $54 \,km/h$. At a distance of $400 \,m$ from the traffic light, brakes are applied. The acceleration of the vehicle after the application of brakes is $-0.3 \,m/s^2$. The vehicle's position relative to the traffic light is: (in $\,m$)

The displacement $x$ (in $m$) of a particle of mass $m$ (in $kg$) moving in one dimension under the action of a force,is related to time $t$ (in $s$) by $t = \sqrt{x} + 3$. The displacement of the particle when its velocity is zero,will be

$A$ three-wheeler starts from rest,accelerates uniformly with $1\; m/s^{2}$ on a straight road for $10\; s$,and then moves with uniform velocity. Plot the distance covered by the vehicle during the $n^{\text{th}}$ second $(n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots)$ versus $n$. What do you expect this plot to be during accelerated motion: a straight line or a parabola?
