A motor car moving with a uniform speed of \(20\ \text{m/s}\) comes to a stop on the application of the brakes after travelling a distance of \(10\ \text{m}\). Its acceleration is:
1. \(20\ \text{m/s}^2\)
2. \(-20\ \text{m/s}^2\)
3. \(-40\ \text{m/s}^2\)
4. \(+2\ \text{m/s}^2\)
The velocity of a body moving with a uniform acceleration of \(2\ \text{m/s}^2\) is \(10\ \text{m/s}\). Its velocity after an interval of \(4\ \text{s}\) is:
1. \(12\ \text{m/s}\)
2. \(14\ \text{m/s}\)
3. \(16\ \text{m/s}\)
4. \(18\ \text{m/s}\)
A particle starting from rest, moving with constant acceleration, travels a distance \(x\) in first \(2\) seconds and a distance \(y\) in the next two seconds, then:
1. \(y = x\)
2. \(y = 2x\)
3. \(y = 3x\)
4. \(y = 4x\)
The initial velocity of a body moving along a straight line is \(7\ \text{m/s}\). It has a uniform acceleration of \(4\ \text{m/s}^2\). The distance covered by the body in the \(5^{th}\) second of its motion is:
1. \(25\ \text{m}\)
2. \(35\ \text{m}\)
3. \(50\ \text{m}\)
4. \(85\ \text{m}\)
The velocity of a body depends on time according to the equation \(𝑣 = 20 + 0 .1 \ 𝑡^ 2\). The body is undergoing:
1. Uniform acceleration
2. Uniform retardation
3. Non-uniform acceleration
4. Zero acceleration
Which of the following four statements is false?
1. A body can have zero velocity and still be accelerated.
2. A body can have a constant velocity and still have a varying speed.
3. A body can have a constant speed and still have a varying velocity.
4. The direction of the velocity of a body can change when its acceleration is constant.
The position of a particle moving in the XY plane at any time \(t\) is given by \(𝑥 = ( 3 𝑡^ 2 − 6 𝑡 )\) metres, \(y=(t^2-2t)\) metres. Select the correct statement about the moving particle from the following.
1. The acceleration of the particle is zero at \(t = 0\) second
2. The velocity of the particle is zero at \(t = 0\) second
3. The velocity of the particle is zero at \(t = 1\) second
4. The velocity and acceleration of the particle are never zero
If a body having initial velocity zero is moving with uniform acceleration \(8\ \text{m/s}^2\), then the distance travelled by it in the fifth second will be:
1. \(36\) metres
2. \(40\) metres
3. \(100\) metres
4. Zero
An alpha particle enters a hollow tube of \(4\ \text{m}\) length with an initial speed of \(1\ \text{km/s}\). It is accelerated in the tube and comes out of it with a speed of \(9\ \text{km/s}\). The time for which it remains inside the tube is:
1. \(8 × 10^{ − 3} \ \text{s}\)
2. \(80 × 10^{ − 3} \ \text{s}\)
3. \(800 × 10^{ − 3} \ \text{s}\)
4. \(8 × 10^{ − 4} \ \text{s}\)
