The relation between time and distance is given by $t=\alpha x^2+\beta x$, where α and β are constants. The retardation, as calculated based on this equation, will be (assume v to be velocity) :

1. $2\alpha v^3$

2. $2\beta v^3$

3. $2\alpha \beta v^3$

4. $2{\beta }^2{v}^3$

The displacement of a particle is given by $\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{bt}+{\mathrm{ct}}^2-{\mathrm{dt}}^4$. The initial velocity and acceleration are, respectively:

The position \(x\) of a particle varies with time \(t\) as \(x=at^2-bt^3\). The acceleration of the particle will be zero at time \(t\) equal to:
1. \(\frac{a}{b}\)
2. \(\frac{2a}{3b}\)
3. \(\frac{a}{3b}\)
4. zero

A student is standing at a distance of 50 metres from the bus. As soon as the bus begins its motion with an acceleration of 1 ms^–2, the student starts running towards the bus with a uniform velocity u. Assuming the motion to be along a straight road, the minimum value of u, so that the student is able to catch the bus is:

1. 5 ms^–1

2. 8 ms^–1

3. 10 ms^–1

4. 12 ms^–1

A body starts to fall freely under gravity. The distances covered by it in first, second and third second will be in the ratio: 
1. 1 : 3 : 5
2. 1 : 2 : 3
3. 1 : 4 : 9
4. 1 : 5 : 6

A particle moving in a straight line covers half the distance with a speed of \(3~\text{m/s}\). The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds of \(4.5~\text{m/s}\) and \(7.5~\text{m/s}\) respectively. The average speed of the particle during this motion is:
1. \(4.0~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(5.0~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(5.5~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(4.8~\text{m/s}\)

A stone dropped from a building of height h and reaches the earth after t seconds. From the same building, if two stones are thrown (one upwards and other downwards) with the same velocity u and they reach the earth surface after t₁ and t₂ seconds respectively, then: 

1. $t=t_1-t_2$

2. $t=\frac{t_1+t_2}{2}$

3. $t=\sqrt{t_1{t}_2}$

4. $t=t_1^2{t}_2^2$ 

The velocity-time graph of a body moving in a straight line is shown in the figure. The displacement and distance travelled by the body in 6 seconds are, respectively, : 

1. 8 m, 16 m

2. 16 m, 8 m

3. 16 m, 16 m

4. 8 m, 8 m

In the following graph, the distance travelled by the body in metres is:
