Two trains travelling on the same track are approaching each other with equal speeds of \(40\ \text{m/s}\). The drivers of the trains begin to decelerate simultaneously when they are just \(2.0\ \text{km}\) apart. Assuming the decelerations to be uniform and equal, the value of the deceleration to barely avoid collision should be:

1. \(11.8\ \text{m/s}^2\)
2. \(11.0\ \text{m/s}^2\)
3. \(1.6\ \text{m/s}^2\)
4. \(0.8\ \text{m/s}^2\)

A body moves from rest with a constant acceleration of \(5\ \text{m/s}^2\). Its instantaneous speed (in m/s) at the end of \(10\ \text{s}\) is  

1. \(50\)
2. \(5\)
3. \(2\)
4. \(0.5\)

A body starts from rest. What is the ratio of the distance travelled by the body during the \(4^{th}\) and \(3^{rd}\) second:

1. \(\dfrac 75\)

2. \(\dfrac 57\)

3. \(\dfrac 73\)

4. \(\dfrac 37\)

The acceleration \(a\) in m/s² of a particle is given by $a=3t^2+2t+2$ where t is the time. If the particle starts out with a velocity, \(u=2\) m/s at t = 0, then the velocity at the end of \(2\) seconds will be:
1. \(12\) m/s
2. \(18\) m/s
3. \(27\) m/s
4. \(36\) m/s

A particle moves along a straight line such that its displacement at any time \(t\) is given by \(S = t^{3} - 6 t^{2} + 3 t + 4\) metres. The velocity when the acceleration is zero is:
1.  \(4\) ms^-1
2.  \(-12\) ms⁻¹
3.  \(42\) ms⁻¹
4.   \(-9\) ms⁻¹

If a body starts from rest and travels \(120\ \text{cm}\) in the \(6^{th}\) second, then what is the acceleration:

1. \(0.20\ \text{m/s}^2\)
2. \(0.027\ \text{m/s}^2\)
3. \(0.218\ \text{m/s}^2\)
4. \(0.03\ \text{m/s}^2\)

If a car at rest accelerates uniformly to a speed of \(144\ \text{km/h}\) in \(20\ \text{s}\). Then it covers a distance of:

1. \(20\ \text{m}\)
2. \(400\ \text{m}\)
3. \(1440\ \text{m}\)
4. \(2880\ \text{m}\)

The position \(x\) of a particle varies with time \(t\) as \(x=at^2-bt^3\). The acceleration of the particle will be zero at time \(t\) equal to:

If a train travelling at \(72\ \text{km/h}\) is to be brought to rest in a distance of \(200\) metres, then its retardation should be:

1. \(20\ \text{ms}^{–2}\)
2. \(10\ \text{ms}^{–2}\)
3. \(2\ \text{ms}^{–2}\)
4. \(1\ \text{ms}^{–2}\) 

The displacement of a particle starting from rest (at \(t = 0\)) is given by \(𝑠 = 6 𝑡^ 2 − 𝑡^ 3\). The time in seconds at which the particle will attain zero velocity again is:  

1. \(2\)
2. \(4\)
3. \(6\)
4. \(8\)
