A ball is dropped vertically from height \(h\) and bounces elastically on the floor (see figure). Which of the following plots best depicts the acceleration of the ball as a function of time?
1. | ![]() |
2. | ![]() |
3. | ![]() |
4. | ![]() |
(A) | \(A\) = distance travelled by \(B\) | distance travelled by
(B) | \(A\) = \(\dfrac12\) acceleration time of \(B\) | acceleration time of
(C) | \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is always positive | relative velocity of
(D) | \(A\) = \(2×\) deceleration time of \(B\) | deceleration time of

In the following displacement \((x)\) versus time \((t)\) graph, at which points \(P, Q\) and \(R\) will the object's speed be increasing?
1. \(R\) only
2. \(P\) only
3. \(Q\) and \(R\) only
4. \(P,Q,R\)
The accompanying graph of position \((x)\) versus time \((t)\) represents the motion of a particle. If \(p\) and \(q\) are both positive constants, the expression that best describes the acceleration of the particle is:
1. \(a=-p-qt\)
2. \(a=-p+qt\)
3. \(a=p+qt\)
4. \(a=p-qt\)
1. | \(\large\frac{v_2-v_1}{2}\) | 2. | \(\large\frac{v_2+v_1}{2}\) |
3. | \({v_2-v_1}\) | 4. | \({v_2+v_1}\) |
A ball is thrown vertically upward and it reaches the highest point in \(4~\text s.\) Immediately, a second ball is thrown upwards with an initial speed that is twice that of the first. The second ball meets the first after a time:
1. \(1~\text s\)
2. \(2~\text s\)
3. \(3~\text s\)
4. \(4~\text s\)
1. | \(10~\text{m}\) | 2. | \(15~\text{m}\) |
3. | \(20~\text{m}\) | 4. | \(25~\text{m}\) |
