Q1 The position of a particle which moves along a


path defined by the relation x = t3 – 6t2 – 15t +
40, where x is in meter and t in seconds. The
velocity and acceleration at t = 5 s are
(A) V = 0 m/s, a = 18 m/s2
(B) V = 18 m/s, a = 0 m/s2
(C) V = 0 m/s, a = 0 m/s2
(D) V = 18 m/s, a = 18 m/s2

Q2 A ball is tossed with a velocity of 10 m/s


directed vertically upward from a window
located 20 m above the ground. The highest
elevation reached by the ball if the
acceleration of ball is constant, is
(A) 25.1 m (B) 5.1 m (A) 2 m downwards (B) 2 m upwards
(C) 15.1 m (D) 30.2 m (C) 4 m downwards (D) 4 m downwards

Q3 The barrel of a gun recoils with an initial velocity Q5 A ball is thrown vertically upward from the 12-m

mechanism, moves and oil is forced through of 18 m/s. At the same instant an open-
orifices in the piston, causing the piston and the platform elevator passes the 5m level, moving
barrel to deaccelerate at a rate proportional to upward with a constant velocity of 2m/s. The

Area under the acceleration vs time graph


gives the change in position of the body.
(C) If the acceleration is a linear function of t,
the velocity and the position coordinate will
be equal, respectively, to second degree
and third-degree polynomials.
(D) The acceleration can be obtained by
drawing the normal to the velcoity vs
positon (v-x) curve and measuring the
subnormal.
