58. (a) ⁡𝑣 = √3𝑥 + 16 ⇒ 𝑣 2 = 3𝑥 + 16 ⇒ 𝑣 2 − 16 = 3𝑥 Comparing with 𝑣 2 − 𝑢2 = 2𝑎𝑆, we get, 𝑢 = 4

63. (a) at 𝑡 = 0, 𝑢 = 100 m/s downwards

for 0 to 10 sec

v = 𝑢 − 𝑔𝑡 = −100 − 10 × 1.0 = −200 m/s

As 𝑣 = −100 − 𝑔𝑡 is straight line equation between 𝑣 and 𝑡. So the curve will be straight line with -100 as
intercept

64. (d)
for 10 to 20sec, 𝑣 = 0, so option (a) is correct.

Distance travelled in first 5sec is 75 m.

Distance travelled with uniform speed of 30 m/s is S2

395 = S1 + S2 + S3 ⇒ 395 = 75 + S2 + 45 ⇒ S2 = 275 m

275
Time taken to travel 275 m = = 9.2sec

For retarding motion, we have

02 − 302 = 2(−𝑎) × 45, we get 𝑎 = 10 m/s2

1 1
S = ut + at 2 ⇒ 45 = 30t + (−10)t 2 ⇒ 45 = 30t − 5t 2
2 2
On solving we get, 𝑡 = 3sec

Total time taken = 5 + 9.2 + 3 = 17.2sec.

66. (d)
67. (d) Let 𝑢 be the initial velocity that have to find and 𝑎 be the uniform acceleration of the particle.

For 𝑡 = 3 s, distance travelled 𝑆 = 12 m and for 𝑡 = 3 + 3 = 6 s distance travelled S ′ = 12 + 30 = 42 m

From, 𝑆 = 𝑢𝑡 + 1/2𝑎𝑡 2

12 = 𝑢 × 3 + × 𝑎 × 32
2
or 24 = 6𝑢 + 9𝑎

Similarly, 42 = 𝑢 × 6 + 2 × 𝑎 × 62

or 42 = 6𝑢 + 18𝑎

On solving, we get 𝑢 = 1 m s −1 .

∴ ⁡𝑡2 > 𝑡1 because 𝑔+𝑎 < 𝑔−𝑎

69. (d) Because acceleration due to gravity is constant so the slope of line will be constant i.e. velocity time
curve for a body projected vertically upwards is straight line.

balls, remaining same. So, for two balls remaining in air, the time of ascent or descent must be greater than 2
seconds. Hence speed of balls must be greater than 19.6 m/sec.

80. (a) Clearly distance moved by 1st ball in 18 s = distance moved by 2nd ball in 12 s.
Now, distance moved in 18 s by 1st ball

1. (b) If we draw a line parallel to time axis from the point (𝐴) on graph at 𝑡 = 0sec. This line can
intersect graph at 𝐵.
In graph (b) for one value of displacement there are two different points of time. so, for one time, the average
velocity is positive and for other time is equivalent negative.
As there are opposite velocities in the inteval 0 to 𝑇 hence average velocity can vanish in

(b). Thiscan be seen in the figure given below.

Here, 𝑂𝐴 = 𝐵𝑇 (same displacement) for two different points of time.

2. (a) As the lift is moving downward directions so displacement is negative (zero). We have to see
whether the motion is accelerating or retarding.
Due to downward motion displacement is negative the lift reaches 4 th floor is about to stop hence, motion is
retarding (−𝑎) downward in nature hence, 𝑥 < 0; 𝑎 > 0.

As displacement is in negative direction, 𝑥 < 0 velocity will also be negative i.e., 𝑣 < 0 but net acceleration is
+ve 𝑎 > 0, that can be shown in the graph.
3. (b) In one dimensional motion, for the maximum and minimum displacement we must have the
magnitude and direction of maximum velocity.
As maximum velocity in positive direction is 𝑣0 , hence maximum velocity in opposite direction is also −𝑣0 .

Maximum displacement in one direction = 𝑣0 𝑇

Maximum displacement in opposite directions = −𝑣0 𝑇.

Hence, −𝑣0 𝑇 < 𝑥 < 𝑣0 𝑇
