A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration of 2 m/s2 for 10 sec. After that, it travels for 30 sec with constant speed and then undergoes a retardation of 4 m/s2 and comes back to rest. The total distance covered by the particle is
650 m
750 m
700 m
800 m
B.
750 m
Initial velocity ( u ) = 0
Acceleration ( ) = 2 m/s2
time during acceleration (t1) = 10 sec
Time during constant velocity (t2 ) = 30 sec
and retardation ( ) = 4 m/s2
( negative sign due to retardation )
Distance covered by the particle during acceleration
s1 = ut1 +
= ( 0 × 10 ) + × 2 × (10)2
s1 = 100 m ......(i)
And velocity of the particle a the end of acceleration
v = u +
= 0 + ( 2 × 10 )
v = 20 m/s
Therefore distance covered by the particle during constant velocity
s2 = v × t2
= 20 × 30⇒
s2 = 600 m .....(ii)
Relation for the distance covered by the particle during retardation ( s3 ) is
v2 = u2 + 2s3
⇒ ( 0 )2 = ( 20 )2 + 2 × ( 4 ) × s3
⇒ 400 = 8 s3
⇒ s3 =
⇒ s3 = 50 m
Therefore total distance covered by the particle
s = s1 + s2 + s3
= 100 +600 + 50
s = 750 m
A body starting from rest moves along a straight line with a constant acceleration. The variation of speed (v) with distance ( s ) is represented by the graph
B.
For a body moving with constant acceleration
v = u + t
Since the body starts from rest
u = 0
∴ v = t
which is a straight line passing through the origin. Hence the graph is (b)
The radius of earth is 6400 km and g = 10 m/s2. In order that a body of 5 kg weight is zero at the equator, the angular speed is

Kmhr-1
Kilometres per hour is a unit of measurement, which measures speed or velocity. The unit symbol is km/h or km h-1.
By definition, an object travelling at a speed of 1 km/h in a hour moves 1 kilometre.

An earthquake generates both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves in the earth. The speed of S waves is about 4.5 km/s and that of P waves is about 8.0 km/s. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P wave arrives 4.0 min before the first S wave. The epicentre of the earthquake is located at a distance about
25 km
250 km
2500 km

2500 km
Velocity of the S wave is v1 = 4.5 km/s
The velocity of the P waves is v2 = 8.0 km/s
Let the time taken by the S and P waves to reach the seismograph be t1 and t2
It is given that
t1 t2 = 4 min
= 4 × 60 sec
t1 t2 = 240 sec .....(i)
Let the distance of the epicentre (km) be S. Then
S = v1t1 = v2t2
⇒ 4.5 × t1 8t2 = 0
⇒ t1 = t1 ....(ii)
Using (i) and (ii)
t1 t2 = 240
⇒ t1 = 240
⇒ t1 =

∴ S = v1t1

S = 2468.6
S ≈ 2500 km

Velocity is a physical quantity, both magnitude and sirection are needed to define it.
S = Vt
S = distance
V = Velocity
t = time
The SI unit of distance is Meter (m)
The SI unit of time is second ( sec)
So the unit of velocity in SI unit is meter per sec i.e m/s.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards. Which of the following plots represents the speed-time graph of the ball during its flight if the air resistance is not ignored?
D.
During the upward motion, the speed of the body decreases and will be zero at the highest point (since the gravitational force acting downward), afterward, the body starts downward motion and its speed increases.
