A body dropped from a height ‘h’ with an initial speed zero,strikes the ground with a velocity 3 km/hour. Another body of same mass dropped from the same height ‘h’ with an initial speed u’ = 4 km/hour. Find the final velocity of second mass, with which its trikes the ground
-
Solution
From third equation of motion, v2= u2 + 2 as where v & u are final & initial velocity, a is acceleration,s is distance.
For first case v1= 3km/hour,u1= 0, a1=g & s1=?
A point traversed half of the distance with a velocity v0. The half of remaining part of the distance was covered with velocity v1 & second half of remaining part by v2 velocity.The mean velocity of the point, averaged over the whole time of motion is
-
Solution
Let the total distance be d. Then for first half distance,
Now average speed
A stone is dropped into a well in which the level of water is h below the top of the well. If v is velocity of sound, the time T after which the splash is heard is given by
-
Solution
Time taken by the stone to reach the water level
Figure shows the v-t graph for two particles P and Q. Which of the following statements regarding their relative motion is true ?Their relative velocity is
-
Solution
The difference in velocities is increasing with time as both of them have more constant but different acceleration.
A rubber ball is dropped from a height of 5 metre on a plane where the acceleration due to gravity is same as that on to the surface of the earth. On bouncing, it rises to a height of 1.8 m. On bouncing, the ball loses its velocity by a factor of

Solution
Downward motion
The displacement x of a particle along a straight line at time t is given by : x =\(a_{0}+\frac{a_{1}t}{2}+\frac{a_{2}}{3}t^{2}\). The acceleration of the particle is
-
Solution
Differentiated twice.
It is given that t = px2+ qx, where x is displacement and t is time. The acceleration of particle at origin is
-
Solution
Differentiate two times and put x = 0.
The distance through which a body falls in the nth second is h. The distance through which it falls in the next second is
-
Solution
A particle travels half the distance with a velocity of 6 1ms-1.The remaining half distance is covered with a velocity of 41ms-1 for half the time and with a velocity of 81ms-1 for the rest of the half time. What is the velocity of the particle averaged over the whole time of motion ?
-
Solution
Average velocity for the second half of the distance is
\(=\frac{V_{1}+V_{2}}{2}=\frac{4+8}{2}\)=6 m s-1
Given that first half distance is covered with a velocity of 6 ms-1. Therefore, the average velocity for the whole time of motion is 6 ms-1
A rocket is fired upward from the earth’s surface such that it creates an acceleration of 19.6 2ms-2. If after 5 s, its engine is switched off, the maximum height of the rocket from earth’s surface would be
-
Solution
Velocity when the engine is switched off
