Two trains travelling on the same track are approaching each other with equal speeds of $40\ m/s$. The drivers of the trains begin to decelerate simultaneously when they are just $2.0\ km$ apart. Assuming the decelerations to be uniform and equal,the value of the deceleration to barely avoid collision should be..........$m/s^2$.

  • A
    $11.8$
  • B
    $11$
  • C
    $2.1$
  • D
    $0.8$

$A$ car is moving along a straight road with uniform acceleration. It passes through two points $P$ and $Q$ separated by a distance $s$ with velocities $30\; km/h$ and $40\; km/h$ respectively. Find the velocity of the car midway between $P$ and $Q$.

Starting from rest,the acceleration of a particle is given by $a = 2(t - 1)$. The velocity of the particle at $t = 5 \, s$ is ......... $m/s$.

Acceleration of a body whose displacement follows the equation $3 s = 9 t + 5 t^2$ is in $m s^{-2}$. (in $/3$)

$A$ body starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration. If the distance travelled by it in the first $2 \,s$ is $x_1$ and in the next $2 \,s$ is $x_2$, then $x_1$ and $x_2$ are related as

If the velocity of a particle is $v = At + Bt^2$,where $A$ and $B$ are constants,then the distance travelled by it between $1 \ s$ and $2 \ s$ is
