  • C move along a parabolic path and cover a total vertical distance of \(({{\vartheta^{2} \over g}+H})\).
  • D mover vertically down and cover a distance H.

Question - 2

Two bodies move along two perpendicular tracks at 21.6 km \(h^{-1}\).  The relative velocity of one with respect to the other will be

  • D \(75\over3\)m and \(25\over3\)m

Question - 6

A rocket is to be projected vertically upwards.  It is fired with net acceleration '2g'  where is acceleration due to gravity.  After 2 minites, the fuel is exhausted.  After the fuel is exhausted, the time taken by the rocket to reach the highest point is

  • A 1 minute
  • B 2 minute
  • C 4 minute
  • D 8 minute

Question - 7

The displacement x of a particle moving on x-axis at any time t is given by the equation.
4t = 25 \(^{+}_{-}\sqrt{100-x}\)
The acceleration of the particle is

  • A constant and equal to 16 m \(s^{-1}\) along negative x-axis
  • B constant and equal to 32 m \(s^{-1}\) along negative x-axis
  • C constant and equal to 32 m \(s^{-1}\) along positive X-direction
  • D not constant and acts along positive as well as negative X-direction depending on the magnitude of displacement x.

Question - 8

A tennis ball is dropped on the floor from a height of 1 m.  It rebounds to a height of 0.5 m.  If the ball was in contact with the floor for 0.01 s, the average acceleration during contact in the upward direction is

  • A zero
  • B 129 m \(s^{-2}\)

  • D The direction of the velocity of a body can change when its acceleration is constant.

Question - 10

A particle moves along the X-axis such that its coordinate (x) varies with time (t) according to the expression
x = 2 - 5 t - 6 \(t^{2}\)
