1. h2 = 3h1 and h3 = 3h2
2. h1 = h2 = h3
3. h1 = 2h2 = 3h3
4. h1 = h23 = h35

The displacement 'x' (in meter) of a particle of mass 'm' (in kg) moving in one dimension under the action of a force, is related to time 't' (in sec) by t = x + 3. The displacement of the particle when its velocity is zero, will be

1. 4 m
2. 0 m (zero)
3. 6 m
4. 2 m

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

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
