$A$ bullet fired into a target loses one-third of its velocity after travelling a distance $x$ meters into the target. If the bullet comes to rest by travelling a further distance $x^{\prime}$, then the ratio $\frac{x^{\prime}}{x}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{5}$

Two cars $A$ and $B$ initially at rest are moving in the same direction with accelerations $a_1$ and $a_2$ respectively. After a certain time $t$, they achieve velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively and are separated by a distance of $50 \ m$. If $(a_1 - a_2) = 4 \ m \ s^{-2}$, then the quantity $(v_1 - v_2)$ will be: (in $m \ s^{-1}$)

Give examples of a one-dimensional motion where:
$(a)$ The particle moving along positive $x$-direction comes to rest periodically and moves forward.
$(b)$ The particle moving along positive $x$-direction comes to rest periodically and moves backward.

Two particles $A$ and $B$ start from rest and move for equal time on a straight line. Particle $A$ has an acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$ for the first half of the total time and $4\,m/s^2$ for the second half. The particle $B$ has acceleration $4\,m/s^2$ for the first half and $2\,m/s^2$ for the second half. Which particle has covered a larger distance?

The velocity of a particle is $v = v_0 + gt + ft^2$. If its position is $x = 0$ at $t = 0$,then its displacement after unit time $(t = 1)$ is

For a body moving with uniform acceleration along a straight line, the variation of its velocity $(v)$ with position $(x)$ is best represented by:
