A car moves with a speed of \(60\) km/h for \(1\) hour in the east direction and with the same speed for \(30\) min in the south direction. The displacement of the car from the initial position is:
1. \(60\) km
2. \(30 \sqrt{2}\) km
3. \(30 \sqrt{5}\) km
4. \(60 \sqrt{2}\) km
A particle moves along a path \(ABCD\) as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the displacement of the particle from \(A\) to \(D\) is:
1. m
2. \(10\) m
3. m
4. \(15\) m
A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, followed again by \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, and so on. Each step is \(1\) m long and requires \(1\) s. There is a pit on the road \(13\) m away from the starting point. The drunkard will fall into the pit after:
1. \(37\) s
2. \(31\) s
3. \(29\) s
4. \(33\) s
A boy throws a ball straight up the side of a building and receives it after \(4\) s. On the other hand, if he throws it so that it strikes a ledge on its way up, it returns to him after \(3\) s. The ledge is at a distance \(d\) below the highest point, where \(d=?\) (take acceleration due to gravity, \(g=10\) m/s2)
1. \(5\) m
2. \(2.5\) m
3. \(1.25\) m
4. \(10\) m
The distance travelled by a particle starting from rest and moving with an acceleration \(\frac{4}{3}\) ms-2, in the third second is:
1. \(6\) m
2. \(4\) m
3. \(\frac{10}{3}\) m
4. \(\frac{19}{3}\) m
