Given a speed-time graph of a particle in motion along a constant direction. Three equal intervals of time are shown. In which interval is the average acceleration greatest in magnitude? In which interval is the average speed greatest? Choosing the positive direction as the constant direction of motion, give the signs of `v` and `a` in the three intervals. What are the accelerations at the points ` A, B , C` and ` D` ? .

Answer» Average acceleration is greatest in interval 2
Average speed is greatest in interval 3
v is positive in intervals 1, 2, and 3
a is positive in intervals 1 and 3 and negative in interval 2
a = 0 at A, B, C, D
Acceleration is given by the slope of the speed-time graph. In the given case, it is given by the slope of the speed-time graph within the given interval of time.
Since the slope of the given speed-time graph is maximum in interval 2, average acceleration will be the greatest in this interval.
Height of the curve from the time-axis gives the average speed of the particle. It is clear that the height is the greatest in interval 3. Hence, average speed of the particle is the greatest in interval 3.
In interval 1:
The slope of the speed-time graph is positive. Hence, acceleration is positive. Similarly, the speed of the particle is positive in this interval.
In interval 2:
The slope of the speed-time graph is negative. Hence, acceleration is negative in this interval. However, speed is positive because it is a scalar quantity.
In interval 3:
The slope of the speed-time graph is zero. Hence, acceleration is zero in this interval. However, here the particle acquires some uniform speed. It is positive in this interval.
Points A, B, C, and D are all parallel to the time-axis. Hence, the slope is zero at these points. Therefore, at points A, B, C, and D, acceleration of the particle is zero.

Which of the following statements is incorrect? (i) Average velocity is path length divided by time interval. (ii) In general, speed is greater than the magnitude of the velocity. (iii) A particle moving in a given direction with a non-zero velocity can have zero speed. (iv) The magnitude of average velocity is the average speed.A. (ii) and (iii)B. (ii) and (iv)C. (i), (iii) and (iv)D. All four

Answer» Correct Answer - C
(c ) : Average velocity = Displacement/Time interval
A particle moving in a given direction with non-zero velocity cannot have zero period.
In general, average speed is not equal to magnitude of average velocity. However it can be so if the motion is aolong a straight line without change in direction .

In a detective story a body is found 5 m away from the base of a building and beneath an open window `25 m` above. Would you guess the death to be accidental or not ? Explain your answer. `(g = 10 m//s^(2))`

Answer» Correct Answer - Accidental
As `t = sqrt((2h//g)) = sqrt((2 xx 25)/(10)) = (sqrt5) s`, the horizontal velocity of body would have been `u = (x)/(t) = 5//sqrt5 = sqrt5 m//s ~= 223 m//s`
(about 20 % of world class sprint speed of 10 m//s). As this horizontal launch speed cannot be achieved by a standing person himself without a push from behind or by throwing him, so the case is not accidental

Consider a rubber ball freely falling from a height ` h = 4.9 m` onto a horizontally elastic plate. Assume that the duration of collision is negligible and the collisions with the plate is totally elastic . Then the velocity as a function of time and the height as a function of time will be :A. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Consider downward direction negative and upward positive.
for downward motion, `v = - g t`.
For upward motion, `v = + g t`.
As the collisions are elastic, the magnitude of velocity will remain the same. The direction will change after each collision, starting with negative direction. Also, `v prop t`, hence the graph will be straight line.
Also, `h = 4.9 - (1)/(2) g t^(2)` (before collision)
`h = (1)/(2) g t^(2)` (after collision)
As `h prop t^(2)`, hence graph will be parabolic with `h = 4.9 m` at `t = 0`.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of `10 m//s` from the top of a tower 200 m height and another is thrown vertically downwards with the same speed simultaneously. The time difference between them on reaching the ground is `(g=10 m//s^(2))`A. 12 sB. 6 sC. 2 sD. 1 s

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`Deltat=(2u)/(g)`

A stone is dropped from the top of a `400 m` high tower. At the same time another stone is projected vertically upwards from the ground with a speed of `50 m//s`. The two stones will cross each other after a timeA. 2 sB. 4 sC. 6 sD. 8 s

A ball is dropped from the top of an 80 m high tower After 2 s another ball is thrown downwards from the tower. Both the balls reach the ground simultaneously. The initial speed of the second ball isA. `10 m//s`B. `20 m//s`C. `30 m//s`D. `40 m//s`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let the first ball reaches the ground after time t, the second ball will take time `(t-2)`.
`80=1/2g t^(2)impliest=4 s`
Let u: initial velocity of the second ball
`80=u(t-2)+1/2g (t-2)^(2)`
`=u(4-2)=1/2xx10(4-2)^(2)`
`=2u+20`
`u=30 m//s`

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial speed `u` from the top of a tower, reaches the ground with a speed `3 u`. The height of the tower is :A. `(v^(2))/(g)`B. `(2v^(2))/(g)`C. `(4v^(2))/(g)`D. `(8v^(2))/(g)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
According to the third equation of motion
`v^(2)-u^(2)=2as` given `v=3v,u=v and a=g`
or `(3v)^(2)-v^(2)=2gs or s=(4v^(2))/(g)`

A stone is dropped from a height h simultaneously another stone is thrown up from the ground with such a velocity so that it can reach a height of 4h. The time when two stones cross each other is `sqrt(((h)/(kg)))` where `k = "_____"`

Answer» Correct Answer - 8
`S_(1)=(1)/(2)g t^(2), S_(2)=ut-(1)/(2)g t^(2)`
`S_(1)+S_(2)=h,4h=(u^(2))/(2g)impliesu=sqrt(8gh)`
`impliesut=h`
`impliessqrt(8gh)t=h`
`impliest=sqrt((h)/(8g))`
