Motion in One Dimension
A man goes 10m towards North, then 20m towards east then displacement is
2. A body moves over one fourth of a circular arc in a circle of radius r. The magnitude of distance travelled and
displacement will be respectively
3. The displacement of the point of the wheel initially in contact with the ground, when the wheel roles forward half a
revolution will be (radius of the wheel is R)
4. If a car covers 2/5th of the total distance with v1 speed and 3/5th distance with v2 then average speed is
5. A car accelerated from initial position and then returned at initial point, then
(a) Velocity is zero but speed increases
(b) Speed is zero but velocity increases
(c) Both speed and velocity increase
(d) Both speed and velocity decrease
6. A man walks on a straight road from his home to a market 2.5 km away with a speed of 5 km/h. Finding the market
closed, he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of 7.5 km/h. The average speed of the man over the
interval of time 0 to 40 min. is equal to
√
7. The relation 3t = 3x + 6 describes the displacement of a particle in one direction where x is in metres and t in sec.
The displacement, when velocity is zero, is
8. The motion of a particle is described by the equation x = a + bt2 where a = 15cm and b = 3cm. Its instantaneous
velocity at time 3 sec will be
9. A train has a speed of 60 km/h for the first one hour and 40 km/h for the next half hour. Its average speed in km/h is
10. The position x of a particle varies with time t as x = at2 − bt3 The acceleration of the particle will be zero at time t
equal to
11. A particle is moving eastwards with velocity of 5 m/s. In 10 sec the velocity changes to 5 m/s northwards. The average
acceleration in this time is
12. The displacement-time graph for two particles A and B are straight lines inclined at angles of 30o and 60o with the
time axis. The ratio of velocities of vA : vB is
13. A ball is thrown vertically upwards. Plots the speed-time graph of the ball during its flight if the air resistance is not
ignored.
14. A body A moves with a uniform acceleration a and zero initial velocity. Another body B, starts from the same point
moves in the same direction with a constant velocity v . The two bodies meet after a time t. The value of t is
15. A particle travels 10m in first 5 sec and 10m in next 3 sec. Assuming constant acceleration what is the distance travelled
in next 2 sec
16. A body travels for 15 sec starting from rest with constant acceleration. If it travels distances S1 , S2 and S3 in the first
five seconds, second five seconds and next five seconds respectively the relation between S1 , S2 and S3 is
17. A man drops a ball downside from the roof of a tower of height 400 meters. At the same time another ball is thrown
upside with a velocity 50 meter/sec. from the surface of the tower, then they will meet at which height from the surface
of the tower
18. An electron starting from rest has a velocity that increases linearly with the time that is v = kt,where k = 2m/sec2
The distance travelled in the first 3 seconds will be
