4. \(6.7~\text{s}\)
The figure gives the \((x\text-t)\) plot of a particle in a one-dimensional motion. Three different equal intervals of time are shown. The signs of average velocity for each of the intervals \(1,\) \(2\) and \(3,\) respectively are:
1. | \(-,-,+\) | 2. | \(+,-,+\) |
3. | \(-,+,+\) | 4. | \(+,+,-\) |
The figure gives a speed-time graph of a particle in motion along the same direction. Three equal intervals of time are shown. In which interval is the average acceleration greatest in magnitude?
1. | Interval 2 | 2. | Interval 1 |
3. | Interval 3 | 4. | Equal in all intervals |
A boy standing on a stationary lift (open from above) throws a ball upwards with the maximum initial speed he can, equal to \(49~\text{ms}^{-1}.\) How much time does the ball take to return to his hands?
1. | \(5\) s | 2. | \(10\) s |
3. | \(15\) s | 4. | \(7\) s |
1. | zero velocity. | 2. | zero acceleration. |
3. | non-zero velocity. | 4. | non-zero acceleration. |
If a particle is moving along a straight line with increasing speed, then:
1. | its acceleration is negative. |
2. | its acceleration may be decreasing. |
3. | its acceleration is positive. |
4. | both (2) & (3) |
When the velocity of a body is variable, then:
1. | its speed may be constant |
2. | its acceleration may be constant |
3. | its average acceleration may be constant |
4. | all of the above |
A particle moves with velocity \(v_1\) for time \(t_1\) and \(v_2\) for time \(t_2\) along a straight line. The magnitude of its average acceleration is:

2.
3.
4.
A body is projected vertically in the upward direction from the surface of the earth. If the upward direction is taken as positive, then the acceleration of the body during its upward and downward journey is:
1. | Positive, negative | 2. | Negative, negative |
3. | Positive, positive | 4. | Negative, positive |
