$A$ motorbike starts from rest, attains a velocity of $10 \,m/s$ with an acceleration of $0.5 \,m/s^2$, travels $10 \,km$ with this uniform velocity, and then comes to a halt with a uniform deceleration of $0.2 \,m/s^2$. The total time of travel is: (in $\,s$)

$A$ monkey climbs up a slippery pole for $3 \ s$ and subsequently slips for $3 \ s$. Its velocity at time $t$ is given by $v(t) = 2t(3 - t)$ for $0 < t < 3$ and $v(t) = -(t - 3)(6 - t)$ for $3 < t < 6$ in $m/s$. It repeats this cycle until it reaches the height of $20 \ m$.
$(a)$ At what time is its velocity maximum?
$(b)$ At what time is its average velocity maximum?
$(c)$ At what time is its acceleration maximum in magnitude?
$(d)$ How many cycles (counting fractions) are required to reach the top?

$A$ person of height $1.6 \ m$ is walking away from a lamp post of height $4 \ m$ along a straight path on the flat ground. The lamp post and the person are always perpendicular to the ground. If the speed of the person is $60 \ cm \ s^{-1}$,the speed of the tip of the person's shadow on the ground with respect to the person is . . . $cm \ s^{-1}$.

$A$ 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 $Q?$
