For a moving body at any instant of time,which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    If the body is not moving,the acceleration is necessarily zero.
  • B
    If the body is slowing down,the retardation is negative.
  • C
    If the body is slowing down,the distance is negative.

$A$ car moving at a speed $V$ is stopped in a certain distance $s$ when the brakes produce a deceleration $a$. If the speed of the car is $nV$,what must be the deceleration of the car to stop it in the same distance $s$ and in the same time $t$?

$A$ bus moving along a straight highway with a speed of $72 \,km/h$ is brought to a halt within $4 \,s$ after applying the brakes. The distance travelled by the bus during this time (assume the retardation is uniform) is . . . . . . $m$.

$A$ car moving with uniform acceleration covers a distance of $200 \,m$ in the first $2 \,s$ and a distance of $220 \,m$ in the next $4 \,s$. The velocity of the car after $7 \,s$ is: (in $\,m/s$)
