The relation \(3t = \sqrt{3x} + 6\) describes the displacement of a particle in one direction where \(x\) is in metres and \(t\) in seconds. The displacement, when velocity is zero, is:
1. | \(24\) metres | 2. | \(12\) metres |
3. | \(5\) metres | 4. | zero |
The average velocity of a body moving with uniform acceleration travelling a distance of 3.06 m is 0.34 ms–1. If the change in velocity of the body is 0.18ms–1 during this time, its uniform acceleration is
(1) 0.01 ms–2
(2) 0.02 ms–2
(3) 0.03 ms–2
(4) 0.04 ms–2
Equation of displacement for any particle is . Its acceleration at time t = 1 sec is
1. 10 m/s2
2. 16 m/s2
3. 25 m/s2
4. 32 m/s2
The position of a particle moving along the x-axis at certain times is given below :
t (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
x (m) | -2 | 0 | 6 | 16 |
Which of the following describes the motion correctly?

Consider the acceleration, velocity and displacement of a tennis ball as it falls to the ground and bounces back. Directions of which of these changes in the process ?
1. Velocity only
2. Displacement and velocity
3. Acceleration, velocity and displacement
4. Displacement and acceleration
The displacement of a particle, moving in a straight line, is given by where s is in metres and t in seconds. The acceleration of the particle is
(1) 2 m/s2
(2) 4 m/s2
(3) 6 m/s2
(4) 8 m/s2
A body A starts from rest with an acceleration a1. After 2 seconds, another body B starts from rest with an acceleration a2. If they travel equal distances in the 5th second, after the start of A, then the ratio a1: a2 is equal to:
(1) 5: 9
(2) 5: 7
(3) 9: 5
(4) 9: 7
The velocity of a bullet is reduced from 200m/s to 100m/s while travelling through a wooden block of thickness 10cm. The retardation, assuming it to be uniform, will be

(3) m/s2
(4) m/s2
