Two stones are thrown simultaneously from the edge of a cliff \(240~\text{m}\) high. The first stone is thrown upward with an initial speed of \(10~\text{m/s},\) and the second with \(40~\text{m/s}.\) Assuming the stones do not bounce after hitting the ground and neglecting air resistance (\(g= 10~\text{m/s}^2\)), which of the following graphs best represents how the position of the second stone varies relative to the first stone with time? (graphs are schematic and not drawn to scale)

A car is standing \(200~\text{m}\) behind a bus, which is also at rest. The two start moving at the same instant but with different forward accelerations. The bus has acceleration \(2~\text{m/s}^2 \) and the car has acceleration \(4~\text{m/s}^2. \) The car will catch up with the bus after a time of:
1. \(\sqrt{120}~\text{s} \)
2. \(15~\text{s}\)
3. \(10\sqrt2~\text{s} \)
4. \(\sqrt{110}~\text{s} \)

Train \(\mathrm{A}\) and Train \(\mathrm{B}\) are running on parallel tracks in opposite directions with speeds of \(36~\text{km/h}\) and \(72~\text{km/h},\) respectively. A person is walking inside Train \(\mathrm{A}\) in the direction opposite to the train's motion with a speed of \(1.8~\text{km/h} .\) What is the speed of this person as observed from Train \(\mathrm{B}\)? (Assume the distance between the tracks is negligible.)

Two identical trains cross each other moving on parallel tracks, opposite in direction. Speed of one of the train is 70 km/hr and second train has a speed of 110 km/hr. If it takes 8 seconds for two trains to cross each other then length of trains is equal to 
1. 100 m 
2. 200 m 
3. 300 m 
4. 400 m
