Two cars start from a point at the same time in a straight line and their positions are represented by $x_1(t) = at + bt^2$ and $x_2(t) = Ft - t^2$. At what time do the cars have the same velocity?

The driver of a bus moving with a velocity of $72 \ km/h$ observes a boy walking across the road at a distance of $50 \ m$ in front of the bus and decelerates the bus at $5 \ m/s^2$ by applying brakes and is just able to avoid an accident. The reaction time of the driver is (in $s$)

Let $v$ and $a$ denote the velocity and acceleration respectively of a body. Which of the following statements is correct?

When the velocity of a body is variable,then:

$A$ man in a car at location $Q$ on a straight highway is moving with speed $v$. He decides to reach a point $P$ in a field at a distance $d$ from the highway (point $M$) as shown in the figure. The speed of the car in the field is half of that on the highway. What should be the distance $RM$ so that the time taken to reach $P$ is minimum?

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(a)$ An object can have acceleration even when its velocity is zero.
$(b)$ If the acceleration of a moving object is constant,the direction of its velocity must remain the same.
$(c)$ The speed of an object can never be zero.
