$A$ street car moves rectilinearly from station $A$ to the next station $B$ with an acceleration varying according to the law $a = (b - cx)$,where $b$ and $c$ are constants and $x$ is the distance from station $A$. The distance between the two stations and the maximum velocity are:

  • A
    $x = 2b/c, v_{\max} = b/\sqrt{c}$
  • B
    $x = c/(2b), v_{\max} = b/c$
  • C
    $x = b/(2c), v_{\max} = c/\sqrt{a}$
  • D
    $x = b/c, v_{\max} = \sqrt{b}/c$

$A$ charged object is launched inside a time-varying electric field. Its motion is recorded by a video camera on a video tape. When it is at a certain moment $A$,its position vector $\vec{r}$,velocity $\vec{v}$,and acceleration $\vec{a}$ are measured. $A$ student watches the video at a later time but mistakenly plays the tape in the reverse direction. What are the position,velocity,and acceleration of the object at moment $A$ observed by the student,respectively?

$A$ particle moving along a straight line covers the first half of the distance with a speed of $3 \, m \, s^{-1}$. The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds of $4.5 \, m \, s^{-1}$ and $7.5 \, m \, s^{-1}$ respectively. The average speed of the particle during the motion is:

$A$ drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes $5$ steps forward and $3$ steps backward,followed again by $5$ steps forward and $3$ steps backward,and so on. Each step is $1\; m$ long and requires $1\; s$. Plot the $x-t$ graph of his motion. How long (in $s$) does the drunkard take to fall into a pit $13\; m$ away from the start?
