Starting from rest, a car accelerates uniformly at the rate of \(1~\text{m/s}^2\) for some time, then decelerates uniformly at the rate of \(2~\text{m/s}^2\) and finally comes to rest after a journey of \(1\) minute. The maximum possible speed of the car during this journey is:
1. \(10\) m/s
2. \(20\) m/s
3. \(30\) m/s
4. \(40\) m/s

Suppose you are riding a bike with a speed of \(20\) m/s due east relative to a person \(A\) who is walking on the ground towards the east. If your friend \(B\) walking on the ground due west measures your speed as \(30\) m/s due east, find the relative velocity between two reference frames \(A\) and \(B\):
1. | \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is \(5\) m/s towards the east. | The velocity of
2. | \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is \(5\) m/s towards the west. | The velocity of
3. | \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is \(10\) m/s towards the east. | The velocity of
4. | \(A\) with respect to \(B\) is \(10\) m/s towards the west. | The velocity of
A helicopter moving vertically upwards releases a packet when it is at a certain height above the ground. The packet initially moves upwards for a time \(t_1\) and then falls downwards for a time \(t_2\) until it reaches the ground. Then:
