The velocity of a particle moving in the positive direction of the $x$-axis varies as $v = 5 \sqrt{x}$. Assuming that at $t = 0$,the particle was at $x = 0$,what is the acceleration of the particle in $m/s^2$?

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ start from the same point at the same instant and move along a straight line. Body $A$ moves with uniform acceleration $a$ and body $B$ moves with uniform velocity $V$. They meet after time $t$. The value of $t$ is

For a train engine moving with a speed of $20 \; m/s$,the driver must apply brakes at a distance of $500 \; m$ before the station for the train to come to rest at the station. If the brakes were applied at half of this distance,the train engine would cross the station with a speed of $\sqrt{x} \; m/s$. The value of $x$ is $..............$ (Assuming the same retardation is produced by the brakes).

Stopping distance of vehicles: When brakes are applied to a moving vehicle,the distance it travels before stopping is called stopping distance. It is an important factor for road safety and depends on the initial velocity $(v_0)$ and the braking capacity,or deceleration,$-a$ that is caused by the braking. Derive an expression for stopping distance of a vehicle in terms of $v_0$ and $a$.

$A$ body starts moving from rest with constant acceleration. It covers a displacement $S_1$ in the first $(p-1)$ seconds and $S_2$ in the first $p$ seconds. The total displacement $S_1+S_2$ will be covered in time:
