Motion in a Straight Line · Question 23

A stone is dropped from a height h. It hits the ground with a certain momentum P. If the same stone is dropped from a height 100% more than the previous height, the momentum when it hits the ground will change by

1. 68%
2. 41%
3. 200%
4. 100%

The motion of a particle along a straight line is described by equation x = 8 + 12t - t3 where x is in metre and t in second. The retardation of the particle when its velocity becomes zero is

2. zero
3. 6 m s-2
4. 12 m s-2

A particle covers half of its total distance with speed v1 and the rest half distance with speed v2. Its average speed during the complete journey is

1. v1+v22
2. v1v2v1+v2
3. 2v1v2v1+v2
4. v12v22v12+v22

A boy standing at the top of a tower of 20 m height drops a stone. Assuming g = 10 m s-2, the velocity with which it hits the ground is

3. 40.0 m/s
4. 5.0 m/s

A particle moves a distance x in time t according to equation x = (t + 5)-1. The acceleration of particle is proportional to

1. (velocity)3/2
2. (distance)2
3. (distance)-2
4. (velocity)2/3

A ball is dropped from a high rise platform at t = 0 starting from rest. After 6 seconds another ball is thrown downwards from the same platform with a speed v. The two balls meet at t = 18 s. What is the value of v? (Take g = 10 m/s2)

1. 75 m/s
2. 55 m/s
3. 40 m/s
4. 60 m/s

A particle starts its motion from rest under the action of a constant force. If the distance covered in first 10 seconds is S1 and that covered in the first 20 seconds is S2, then

1. S2 = 3S1
2. S2 = 4S1
3. S2 = S1
4. S2 = 2S1

A bus is moving with a speed of 10 m s-1 on a straight road. A scooterist wishes to overtake the bus in 100 s. If the bus is at a distance of 1 km from the scooterist, with what speed should the scooterist chase the bus?

1. 40 m s-1
2. 25 m s-1
3. 10 m s-1
4. 20 m s-1

A particle moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration. It changes its velocity from 10 m s-1 to 20 m s-1 while passing through a distance 135 m in t second. The value of t is
