$A$ car,starting from rest,accelerates at the rate $\alpha$ through a distance $d$,then continues at a constant speed for time $t$ and then decelerates at the rate of $\alpha/2$ to come to rest. If the total distance traveled is $15\, d$,then $d=$

  • A
    $d = \frac{1}{2}\, \alpha \, t^2$
  • B
    $d = \frac{1}{4}\, \alpha \, t^2$
  • C
    $d = \frac{1}{72}\, \alpha \, t^2$
  • D
    $d = \frac{1}{6}\, \alpha \, t^2$

Derive the equations of motion for constant acceleration using the method of calculus.

$A$ particle located at $x= 0$ at time $t= 0$ starts moving along the positive $x-$direction with a velocity $v$ that varies as $v = \alpha \sqrt{x}$. The displacement of the particle varies with time as:

$A$ body moves on a frictionless plane starting from rest. If $S_{n}$ is the distance moved between $t=n-1$ and $t=n$,and $S_{n-1}$ is the distance moved between $t=n-2$ and $t=n-1$,then the ratio $\frac{S_{n-1}}{S_n}$ is $\left(1-\frac{2}{x}\right)$ for $n=10$. The value of $x$ is:
