ASSIGNMENT : MOTION IN STRAIGHT LINE

1. Can a body have a constant speed and still have a varying velocity?
2. Can a body have zero velocity but still accelerating.
3. Under what condition average velocity is equal to instantaneous velocity.
4. Draw position time graphs for two objects having zero relative velocity.
5. What do the slopes of ‘distance-time’ and ‘velocity-time’ graphs
represent? What do positive and negative values of these slopes imply?
6. The displacement of particle at time t is given by x=a-bt+ct 2. Find the
acceleration of particle.
7. The displacement of a particle along X-axis is given by x=3+8t+7t 2.
Obtain its velocity and acceleration at t = 2s.
8. A particle moves along a straight line such that its displacement s at any
time t is given by s=t3 – 6t2+3t +4 metres. Find the velocity, when the
acceleration is zero.
9. Derive third equation of motion by calculus method.
10. A car covers the first half of the distance between two places at a
speed of 40 Km/hr and second half at 60 Km/hr. Calculate the average
speed of the car.
11. Starting from rest a car accelerates uniformly with 3m/s 2 for 5 sec
and then moves with uniform velocity . draw distance-time graph of
motion of car upto t=7 sec.
12. A ball thrown up is caught by the thrower after 4 sec. how high did
it go and with what velocity was it thrown? How far was it below the
highest point 3sec after it was thrown.
13. Draw velocity-time graph of a uniformly accelerated motion and
explain that the distance travelled is equal to the area under velocity-
time graph
14. A car travelled the first third of a distance x at a speed of 10km/h,
the second third at a speed of 20 km/h and the last third at a speed of
60 km/h. Determine the average speed of the car over the entire distance
x.
15. A body dropped from the top of a tower falls through 40 m during
the last two second of its fall. What is the height of the tower?
16. A body is thrown up with a velocity of 78.4 m/s. Find how high it
will rise and how much time it will take to return to its point of
projection.
17. A stone is dropped from the top of a tower 200 m in height and at
the same time , another is projected vertically upwards from the ground
with a velocity of 50 m/s. Find when and where the two will meet.
18. The variation of velocity of a particle moving along the straight line
is shown in the figure. Calculate the distance covered by object between
i. T=0 to 5 sec.
ii. T= 0 to 10 sec.

19. The acceleration experienced by a boat after the engine is cut off, is
given by dv/dt=-kv3, where k is a constant. If vo is the magnitude of the
velocity at cut off, find the magnitude of velocity at time t after the cut
off.
