A particle is moving in a straight line and passes through a point O with a velocity of 6 ms^–1. The particle moves with a constant retardation of 2 ms^–2 for 4 s and there after moves with constant velocity. How long after leaving O does the particle return to O

(1) 3s

(2) 8s

(3) Never

(4) 4s

A particle is projected with velocity $v_0$ along x-axis. The deceleration of the particle is proportional to the square of the distance from the origin i.e., $a=\alpha x^2.$ The distance at which the particle stops is :

1.  $\sqrt{\frac{3v_0}{2\alpha }}$
2.  ${\left(\frac{{\displaystyle 3v_o}}{{\displaystyle 2\alpha }}\right)}^{\frac{1}{3}}$
3.  $\sqrt{\frac{3v{}_0{}^2}{2\alpha }}$
4.  ${\left(\frac{{\displaystyle 3v{}_0{}^2}}{{\displaystyle 2\alpha }}\right)}^{\frac{1}{3}}$  

A body is projected vertically up with a velocity v and after some time it returns to the point from which it was projected. The average velocity and average speed of the body for the total time of flight are

(1) $\overrightarrow{v}/2$ and v/2

(2) 0 and v/2

(3) 0 and 0

(4) $\overrightarrow{v}/2$ and 0

A stone is dropped from a height \(h\). Simultaneously, another stone is thrown up from the ground which reaches a height \(4h\). The two stones cross each other after time:
1. \(\sqrt{\frac{h}{8g}}\)
2. \(\sqrt{8g}~h\)
3. \(\sqrt{2g}~h\)
4. \(\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}}\)

Four marbles are dropped from the top of a tower one after the other at a one-second interval. The first one reaches the ground after \(4\) seconds. When the first one reaches the ground the distances between the first and second, the second and third, and the third and fourth will be, respectively:

A balloon rises from rest with a constant acceleration g/8. A stone is released from it when it has risen to height h. The time taken by the stone to reach the ground is

(1) $4\sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$

(2) $2\sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$

(3) $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

(4) $\sqrt{\frac{g}{h}}$ 

Two bodies are thrown simultaneously from a tower with same initial velocity v₀ : one vertically upwards, the other vertically downwards. The distance between the two bodies after time t is

(1) $2v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}g{t}^2$

(2) 2v₀t

(3) $v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}g{t}^2$

(4) v₀t

A body falls freely from the top of a tower. It covers 36% of the total height in the last second before striking the ground level. The height of the tower is:

(1) 50 m

(2) 75 m

(3) 100 m

(4) 125 m

A particle is projected upwards. The times corresponding to height \(h\) while ascending and while descending are t₁ and t₂ respectively. The velocity of projection will be:
1. \(gt_1\)
2. \(gt_2\)
3. \(g(t_1+t_2)\)
4. \(\frac{g(t_1+t_2)}{2}\)

A projectile is fired vertically upwards with an initial velocity u. After an interval of T seconds a second projectile is fired vertically upwards, also with initial velocity u.

(1) They meet at time $t=\frac{u}{g}$ and at a height $\frac{u^2}{2g}+\frac{g{T}^2}{8}$

(2) They meet at time $t=\frac{u}{g}+\frac{T}{2}$ and at a height $\frac{u^2}{2g}+\frac{g{T}^2}{8}$

(3) They meet at time $t=\frac{u}{g}+\frac{T}{2}$ and at a height $\frac{u^2}{2g}-\frac{g{T}^2}{8}$

(4) They never meet
