Two stones are thrown up simultaneously from the edge of a cliff $240 \ m$ high with initial speeds of $10 \ m/s$ and $40 \ m/s$ respectively. Which of the following graphs best represents the time variation of the relative position of the second stone with respect to the first? (Assume stones do not rebound after hitting the ground and neglect air resistance,take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ particle has an initial velocity of $10 \, m/s$. It moves due to a constant retarding force along the line of motion,which produces a retardation of $5 \, m/s^2$. Then:

$A$ car travels from $A$ to $B$ (without changing direction). During the first part of the journey,its average speed is $V_1$,and for the second part of the journey,its average speed is $V_2$. The ratio of the path length of the second part to the path length of the first part is $\sqrt{\frac{V_2}{V_1}}$. In this case,the average speed of the total path is the ....... of the average speeds of both parts. Choose the correct option.

$A$ particle moves along a straight line such that its retardation is proportional to its displacement. The loss in its kinetic energy for any displacement $x$ is proportional to:

$A$ train starting from rest first accelerates uniformly up to a speed of $80 \ km/h$ for time $t$,then it moves with a constant speed for time $3t$. The average speed of the train for this duration of journey will be (in $km/h$):
