Kinematics of Particle (Variable Acceleration)
Q1. A particle, starting from rest, moves in a straight line, whose equation of motion is given by
s = t3 – 2t2 + 3. Find the velocity and acceleration of the particle after 5 seconds.
Q2. A car moves along a straight line whose equation of motion is given by s = 12t + 3t2 – 2t3,
where (s) is in metres and (t) is in seconds. calculate
(i) velocity and acceleration at start, and
(ii) acceleration, when the velocity is zero.
Q4 The motion of a particle is given by : a = t3 – 3t2 + 5 where (a) is the acceleration in m/s2
and (t) is the time in seconds. The velocity of the particle at
t = 1 second is 6.25 m/sec and the displacement is 8.8 metres. Calculate the displacement and
velocity at t = 2 seconds.
Q6 A body starting from rest, moves along a straight line with an acceleration whose
equation is given by :
t2
a=4−
9
where a is in m/s2 and t in seconds. Find (a) velocity after 6 seconds, and (b) distance
traversed in 6 seconds.
Q7 A body starting from rest, moves in such a way that its acceleration is given by :
a = 3 – 0.15t2
Find the time when the body comes to stop and distance travelled during this time.
Q8 A particle, starting from rest, moves in a straight line whose equation of motion is given
by :
s = 3t3 – 2t
where (s) is in metres and (t) in seconds. Find (i) velocity after 3 seconds ; (ii) acceleration
at the end of 3 seconds ; and (iii) average velocity in the 4th seconds.
Q10. A particle, starting from rest, moves in a straight line, whose acceleration
is given by the equation :
a = 10 – 0.006 s2
where (a) is in m/s2 and (s) in metres. Determine
(i) velocity of the particle,when it has travelled 50 metres.
(ii) distance travelled by the particle, when it comes to rest.
