An object moving along the $x$-axis with a uniform acceleration has a velocity $\vec{v} = (12 \ cm \ s^{-1}) \hat{i}$ at $x = 3 \ cm$. After $2 \ s$,if it is at $x = -5 \ cm$,then its acceleration is:

  • A
    $\vec{a} = (-16 \ cm \ s^{-2}) \hat{i}$
  • B
    $\vec{a} = (11 \ cm \ s^{-2}) \hat{i}$
  • C
    $\vec{a} = (-11 \ cm \ s^{-2}) \hat{i}$
  • D
    $\vec{a} = (8 \ cm \ s^{-2}) \hat{i}$

When are the acceleration and average acceleration equal for a moving object?

$A$ body starts with an initial velocity of $10\,m/s$ and moves along a straight line with constant acceleration. When the velocity of the particle is $50\,m/s$,the acceleration is reversed in direction. The velocity of the particle when it again reaches the starting point is $............\,m/s$.

$A$ particle initially at rest starts moving from reference point $x=0$ along the $x$-axis,with velocity $v$ that varies as $v=4 \sqrt{x} \ m/s$. The acceleration of the particle is . . . . . . $m/s^2$.

In a car race on a straight road,car $A$ takes a time $t$ less than car $B$ at the finish and passes the finishing point with a speed $v$ more than that of car $B$. Both the cars start from rest and travel with constant acceleration $a_1$ and $a_2$ respectively. Then $v$ is equal to

The velocity of a bullet is reduced from $200\,m/s$ to $100\,m/s$ while travelling through a wooden block of thickness $10\,cm$. Assuming the retardation to be uniform,the retardation will be:
