Motion in a Straight Line · Question 6

A particle is moving along x-axis with its position (x) varying with time (t) as x = t4 + t2 + t + . The ratio of its initial velocity to its initial acceleration, respectively, is:

1. 2 :
2. : 2
3. 4 :
4. : 2

A vehicle travels half the distance with speed v and the remaining distance with speed 2v. Its average speed is :

1. 2v3
2. 4v3
3. 3v4
4. v3

A horizontal bridge is built across a river. A student standing on the bridge throws a small ball vertically upwards with a velocity 4 m s-1. The ball strikes the water surface after 4 s. The height of bridge above water surface is (Take g = 10 m s-2)

1. 60 m
2. 64 m
3. 68 m
4. 56 m

A bullet from a gun is fired on a rectangular wooden block with velocity u. When bullet travels 24 cm through the block along its length horizontally, velocity of bullet becomes u3. Then it further penetrates into the block in the same direction before coming to rest exactly at the other end of the block. The total length of the block is :

1. 24 cm
2. 28 cm
3. 30 cm
4. 27 cm

The ratio of the distances travelled by a freely falling body in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th second

1. 1 : 2 : 3 : 4
2. 1 : 4 : 9 : 16
3. 1 : 3 : 5 : 7
4. 1 : 1 : 1 : 1

The displacement-time graphs of two moving particles make angles of 30 and 45 with the x-axis as shown in the figure. The ratio of their respective velocity is [figure]

A small block slides down on a smooth inclined plane, starting from rest at time t = 0. Let Sn be the distance travelled by the block in the interval t = n - 1 to t = n. Then the ratio SnSn+1 is :

1. 2n2n-1
2. 2n-12n
3. 2n-12n+1
4. 2n+12n-1

A ball is thrown vertically downward with a velocity of 20 m/s from the top of a tower. It hits the ground after some time with a velocity of 80 m/s. The height of the tower is : (g = 10 m/s2)

1. 340 m
2. 320 m
3. 300 m
4. 360 m

When an object is shot from the bottom of a long smooth inclined plane kept at an angle 60 with horizontal, it can travel a distance x1 along the plane. But when the inclination is decreased to 30 and the same object is shot with the same velocity, it can travel x2 distance. Then x1 : x2 will be :

1. 1 : 2
2. 2 : 1
3. 1 : 3
4. 1 : 2 3
