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
The velocity \(v\) of an object varies with its position \(x\) on a straight line as \(v=3\sqrt{x}.\) Its acceleration versus time \((a\text-t)\) graph is best represented by:

3. | \(0.5\) s | 4. | \(0.3\) s |
An elevator whose floor to ceiling height is \(12\) meters, moves upward with an acceleration of \(2.2~\text{m/s}^2\). After \(1.5\) seconds since starting, a bolt falls from its ceiling. The time taken by the bolt to reach the floor is:
1. \(1~\text{s}\)
2. \(2~\text{s}\)
3. \(\sqrt{2}~\text{s}\)
4. \(\sqrt{3}~\text{s}\)
A ball is thrown vertically downwards with a velocity of \(20\) m/s from the top of a tower. It hits the ground after some time with the velocity of \(80\) m/s . The height of the tower is: (assuming \(g = 10~\text{m/s}^2)\)
1. | \(340\) m | 2. | \(320\) m |
3. | \(300\) m | 4. | \(360\) m |

A body starting from rest moves with uniform acceleration on a horizontal surface. The body covers \(3\) consecutive equal distances from the beginning in time \(t_1, t_2,\text{and}~t_3\) seconds. The ratio of \(t_1:t_2:t_3\) is:
1. \(1:2:3\)
2. \(1:\sqrt{2}:\sqrt{3}\)
3. \(1:\left(\sqrt{2}-1\right):\left(\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}\right)\)
4. \(\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2}:1\)
A particle starts from rest (with constant acceleration) and acquires velocity \(20\) m/s in \(5\) s. The distance travelled by the particle in the next \(2\) s will be:
1. | \(50\) m | 2. | \(48\) m |
3. | \(100\) m | 4. | \(150\) m |
A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, followed again by \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, and so on. Each step is \(1\) m long and requires \(1\) s. There is a pit on the road \(13\) m away from the starting point. The drunkard will fall into the pit after:
1. | \(37\) s | 2. | \(31\) s |
3. | \(29\) s | 4. | \(33\) s |
