The relation between time $t$ and distance $x$ is given by $t = \alpha x^2 + \beta x$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants. The retardation of the particle is:

$A$ parachutist drops freely from an aeroplane for $10\,s$ before the parachute opens. Then he descends with a net retardation of $2.5\,m/s^2$. If he bails out of the plane at a height of $2495\,m$ and $g = 10\,m/s^2$,his velocity on reaching the ground will be .......$m/s$.

$A$ particle starts from rest and traverses a distance $l$ with uniform acceleration,then moves uniformly over a further distance $2l$ and finally comes to rest after moving a further distance $3l$ under uniform retardation. Assuming the entire motion to be rectilinear,the ratio of the average speed over the journey to the maximum speed on its way is: (in $/5$)

$A$ 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 . . . $cm \ s^{-1}$.
