$A$ car is moving along a straight line,say $OP$ in the given figure. It moves from $O$ to $P$ in $18\; s$ and returns from $P$ to $Q$ in $6.0\; s$. What are the average velocity and average speed of the car in going from $O$ to $P$ and back to $Q?$

  • A
    $20\; m s^{-1}, 20\; m s^{-1}$
  • B
    $10\; m s^{-1}, 20\; m s^{-1}$
  • C
    $20\; m s^{-1}, 10\; m s^{-1}$
  • D
    $30\; m s^{-1}, 10\; m s^{-1}$

$A$ horse rider covers half the distance with $5\,m/s$ speed. The remaining part of the distance was travelled with speed $10\,m/s$ for half the time and with speed $15\,m/s$ for the other half of the time. The mean speed of the rider averaged over the whole time of motion is $\frac{x}{7}\,m/s$. The value of $x$ is

$A$ body of mass $0.40 \;kg$ moving initially with a constant speed of $10 \;m s^{-1}$ to the north is subject to a constant force of $8.0 \;N$ directed towards the south for $30 \;s$. Take the instant the force is applied to be $t=0$,the position of the body at that time to be $x=0$,and predict its position at $t=-5 \;s, 25 \;s, 100 \;s$.
