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. \(\dfrac 57\)
3. \(\dfrac 73\)
4. \(\dfrac 37\)
The acceleration \(a\) in m/s2 of a particle is given by 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:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{a}{b}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{2a}{3b}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{a}{3b}\) | 4. | zero |
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. \(8\)
Two cars \(A\) and \(B\) are at rest at the same point initially. If \(A\) starts with a uniform velocity of \(40\ \text{m/s}\) and \(B\) starts in the same direction with a constant acceleration of \(4\ \text{m/s}^2\), then \(B\) will catch \(A\) after how much time?
1. \(10\ \text{s}\)
2. \(20\ \text{s}\)
3. \(30\ \text{s}\)
4. \(35\ \text{s}\)
