A ball is projected vertically upwards with kinetic energy E.The kinetic energy of the ball at the highest point of its flight will be
-
Solution
At highest point of the trajectory velocity becomes zero and all kinetic energy changes to potential energy so at highest point, K.E. = 0
Two trains are each 50 m long moving parallel towards each other at speeds 10 m/s and 15 m/s respectively. After what time will they pass each other?
-
Solution
Relative speed of each train with respect to each other be, v= 10 +15 = 25 m/s
Here distance covered by each train = sum of their lengths= 50 + 50 = 100 m
∴Required time=\(\frac{100}{25}\)=4sec.
A ball is dropped downwards, after 1 sec another ball is dropped downwards from the same point. What is the distance between them after 3 sec?
-
Solution
S = ut + 1⁄2 at2 here a = g
For first body u1=0 ⇒S1=1⁄2 g × 9
For second body u2=0 ⇒ S2= 1⁄2 g × 4
So difference between them after 3 sec. = S1 – S2= 1⁄2 g × 5
If g = 10 m/sec2then S1–S2= 25 m.
A smooth inclined plane is inclined at an angle θ with horizontal. A body starts from rest and slides down the inclined surface.
Then the time taken by it to reach the bottom is

Solution
A stone thrown upward with a speed u from the top of the tower reaches the ground with a velocity 3u. The height of the tower is
-
Solution
The stone rises up till its vertical velocity is zero and again reached the top of the tower with a speed u(downward). The speed of the stone at the base is 3u.
A body covers 26, 28, 30, 32 meters in 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th seconds respectively. The body starts
-
Solution
The distance covered in nth second is
From eqs. (1) and (2) we get u = 7m/sec, a=2m/sec2
∴The body starts with initial velocity u =7m/sec and moves with uniform acceleration a = 2m/sec2
A stone thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 5 m/sec attains a height H1. Another stone thrown upwards from the same point with a speed of 10m/sec attains a height H2.The correct relation between H1and H2is
-
Solution
From third equation of motion v2=u2+2ah
In first case initial velocity u1 = 5 m/sec
final velocity v1= 0, a= – g
and max. height obtained is H1, then, H1=\(\frac{25}{2g}\)
In second case u2= 10 m/sec, v2= 0, a= –g
and max. height is H2 then, H2=\(\frac{100}{2g}\).
It implies that H2 = 4H1
A particle is moving along a straight line path according to the relations 2 = at2 + 2bt + cs represents the distance travelled int seconds and a,b, care constants. Then the acceleration of the particle variesas
-
Solution
A train of 150 m length is going towards north direction at a speed of 10 ms-1. A parrot flies at a speed of 5 ms-1 to wards south direction parallel to the railway track. The time taken by the parrot to cross the train is equal to
-
Solution
So by figure the velocity of parrot w.r. t. train is = 5–(–10) = 15m/sec
so time taken to cross the train is
A particle experiences constant acceleration for 20 seconds after starting from rest. If it travels a distance s1 in the first 10 seconds and distance s2 in the next 10 seconds, then
-
Solution
Let a be the constant acceleration of the particle. Then
