$A$ drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes $5$ steps forward and $3$ steps backward,followed again by $5$ steps forward and $3$ steps backward,and so on. Each step is $1\; m$ long and requires $1\; s$. Plot the $x-t$ graph of his motion. How long (in $s$) does the drunkard take to fall into a pit $13\; m$ away from the start?

  • A
    $32$
  • B
    $37$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $13$

Assertion $(A)$: The angle between acceleration and velocity of a body in one-dimensional motion is always zero. Reason $(R)$: One-dimensional motion is along a straight line.

$A$ particle starts from rest and traverses a distance $l$ with uniform acceleration,then moves uniformly over a further distance $2l$ and finally comes to rest after moving a further distance $3l$ under uniform retardation. Assuming the entire motion to be rectilinear,the ratio of the average speed over the journey to the maximum speed on its way is: (in $/5$)

The velocity of a particle moving along the $x$-axis is given by $V = x^2 - 5x + 4$ (in $\text{m/s}$), where $x$ denotes the $x$-coordinate of the particle in metres. The magnitude of the acceleration of the particle when the velocity is zero is:

$A$ car is moving along a straight line,say $OP$ in the given figure. It moves from $O$ to $P$ in $18\; s$ and returns from $P$ to $Q$ in $6.0\; s$. What are the average velocity and average speed of the car in going from $O$ to $P$ and back to $Q?$
