$A$ car accelerates from rest at a constant rate $\alpha$ for some time,after which it decelerates at a constant rate $\beta$ and comes to rest. If the total time elapsed is $t$,then the maximum velocity acquired by the car is

  • A
    $\left( \frac{\alpha^2 + \beta^2}{\alpha \beta} \right) t$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{\alpha^2 - \beta^2}{\alpha \beta} \right) t$
  • C
    $\frac{(\alpha + \beta) t}{\alpha \beta}$
  • D
    $\frac{\alpha \beta t}{\alpha + \beta}$

$A$ body starting from rest moves with constant acceleration. The ratio of distance covered by the body during the $5^{th}$ second to that covered in $5$ seconds is

The velocity of a car travelling on a straight road is $3.6 \ km/h$ at an instant of time. Now, travelling with uniform acceleration for $10 \ s$, the velocity becomes exactly double. If the wheel radius of the car is $25 \ cm$, then which of the following is the closest to the number of revolutions that the wheel makes during this $10 \ s$?

$A$ vehicle starts moving in a straight line with an acceleration $a = 4 \,m/s^2$, with initial velocity equal to zero. After accelerating for time $t_1$, the vehicle moves uniformly for time $t_2$, and finally decelerates for time $t_1$, eventually coming to a stop. The total time taken during the motion is $10 \,s$ and the average velocity during the motion is $5.1 \,m/s$. The time taken by the vehicle during acceleration is (in $\,s$)

What is stopping distance for a vehicle? What will be the stopping distance if the initial velocity is doubled?

An automobile travelling with a speed of $60\,km/h$ can brake to stop within a distance of $20\,m$. If the car is going twice as fast,i.e.,$120\,km/h$,the stopping distance will be ........... $m$.
