What determines the nature of the path followed by the particle?

(1) Speed only

(2) Velocity only

(3) Acceleration only

(4) None of these

A boat is sent across a river in perpendicular direction with a velocity of 8 km/hr. If the resultant velocity of boat is 10 km/hr, then velocity of the river is : 

(1) 10 km/hr

(2) 8 km/hr

(3) 6 km/hr

(4) 4 km/hr

A boat moves with a speed of 5 km/h relative to water in a river flowing with a speed of 3 km/h and having a width of 1 km. The minimum time taken around a round trip(returning to the initial point) is:

(1) 5 min

(2) 60 min

(3) 20 min

(4) 30 min

A river is flowing from W to E with a speed of 5 m/min. A man can swim in still water with a velocity 10 m/min. In which direction should the man swim so as to take the shortest possible path to go to the south. 

(1) 30° with downstream

(2) 60° with downstream

(3) 120° with downstream

(4) South

If a particle moves in a circle describing equal angles in equal times, its velocity vector:

(1) remains constant.

(2) changes in magnitude.

(3) changes in direction.

(4) changes both in magnitude and direction.

A motorcyclist going round in a circular track at a constant speed has:

(1) constant linear velocity.

(2) constant acceleration.

(3) constant angular velocity.

(4) constant force.

A particle P is moving in a circle of radius ‘a’ with a uniform speed v. C is the centre of the circle and AB is a diameter. When passing through B the angular velocity of P about A and C are in the ratio 

(1) 1 : 1

(2) 1 : 2

(3) 2 : 1

(4) 4 : 1

The angular speed of a flywheel making 120 revolutions/minute is: 

(1) $2\pi rad/s$

(2) $4{\pi }^{2}rad/s$

(3) $\pi rad/s$

(4) $4\pi rad/s$

Certain neutron stars are believed to be rotating at about 1 rev/sec. If such a star has a radius of 20 km, the acceleration of an object on the equator of the star will be 

(1) $20\times {10}^{8}m/{\sec }^2$

(2) $8\times {10}^{5}m/{\sec }^2$

(3) $120\times {10}^{5}m/{\sec }^2$

(4) $4\times {10}^{8}m/{\sec }^2$

An electric fan has blades of length 30 cm as measured from the axis of rotation. If the fan is rotating at 1200 r.p.m, the acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade is about

(1) 1600 m/sec²

(2) 4740 m/sec²

(3) 2370 m/sec²

(4) 5055 m/sec²
