For a moving body at any instant of time,which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    If the body is not moving,the acceleration is necessarily zero.
  • B
    If the body is slowing down,the retardation is negative.
  • C
    If the body is slowing down,the distance is negative.
  • D
    If displacement,velocity,and acceleration at that instant are known,we can find the displacement at any given time in the future.

On what factors does the stopping distance depend?

An object moving along the $x$-axis with a uniform acceleration has a velocity $\vec{v} = (12 \ cm \ s^{-1}) \hat{i}$ at $x = 3 \ cm$. After $2 \ s$,if it is at $x = -5 \ cm$,then its acceleration is:

The acceleration $a$ in $m/s^2$ of a particle is given by $a = 3t^2 + 2t + 2$,where $t$ is the time in seconds. If the particle starts with an initial velocity $v = 2\,m/s$ at $t = 0$,then the velocity at the end of $t = 2\,s$ is $............m/s$.
