3. m/s2
4. m/s2
The relation \(3t = \sqrt{3x} + 6\) describes the displacement of a particle in one direction where \(x\) is in metres and \(t\) in seconds. The displacement, when velocity is zero, is:
1. | \(24\) metres | 2. | \(12\) metres |
3. | \(5\) metres | 4. | zero |

3. 0.03 ms–2
4. 0.04 ms–2
A body A starts from rest with an acceleration a1. After 2 seconds, another body B starts from rest with an acceleration a2. If they travel equal distances in the 5th second, after the start of A, then the ratio a1: a2 is equal to:

2. 5: 7
3. 9: 5
4. 9: 7
