Motion in a Straight Line · Question 9

A paratrooper jumps from an aeroplane and opens a parachute after 2 s of free fall and starts decelerating with 3 m/s2. At 10 m height from ground, while descending with the help of parachute, the speed of paratrooper is 5 m/s. The initial height of the airplane is m. (g = 10 m/s2)

A particle moves along the x-axis and has its displacement x varying with time t according to the equation: x = c0 (t2 - 2 ) + c(t - 2)2 where c0 and c are constants of appropriate dimensions. Then, which of the following statements is correct?

1. the acceleration of the particle is 2(c + c0)
2. the acceleration of the particle is 2c0
3. the acceleration of the particle is 2c
4. the initial velocity of the particle is 4c

A person travelling on a straight line moves with a uniform velocity v1 for a distance x and with a uniform velocity v2 for the next 32x distance. The average velocity in this motion is 507 m/s. If v1 is 5 m/s then v2 = m/s.
