Starting from rest,a scooter acquires a velocity of $36 \, km/h$ in $10 \, s$ and then brakes are applied,taking $20 \, s$ to stop. Calculate the acceleration and the total distance travelled.

  • A
    Acceleration = $1 \, m/s^2$,Deceleration = $-0.5 \, m/s^2$,Distance = $150 \, m$
  • B
    Acceleration = $1 \, m/s^2$,Deceleration = $-0.5 \, m/s^2$,Distance = $200 \, m$
  • C
    Acceleration = $1 \, m/s^2$,Deceleration = $-0.5 \, m/s^2$,Distance = $250 \, m$
  • D
    Acceleration = $1 \, m/s^2$,Deceleration = $-0.5 \, m/s^2$,Distance = $300 \, m$

The average time taken by a normal person to react to an emergency is $1/15$ of a second and is called the 'reaction time'. If a bus is moving with a velocity of $60 \, km/h$ and its driver sees a child running across the road,how much distance would the bus have moved before he could press the brakes? The reaction time of the people increases when they are intoxicated. How much distance would the bus have moved if the reaction time of the driver were $1/2 \, s$ under the influence of alcohol?

State whether the following statement is true or false:
Kinematics deals with the motion of non-living objects without taking into account the cause of their motion.

The driver of a train $A$ travelling at a speed of $54\, km\, h^{-1}$ applies brakes and retards the train uniformly. The train stops in $5\, s$. Another train $B$ is travelling on the parallel track with a speed of $36\, km\, h^{-1}$. This driver also applies the brakes and the train retards uniformly. The train $B$ stops in $10\, s$. Plot the speed-time graph for both the trains on the same paper. Also,calculate the distance travelled by each train after the brakes were applied.

Can you suggest the kind of motion of a body from the following distance-time graphs?
