$A$ body of mass $m$ moving along a straight line covers half the distance with a speed of $2 \,ms^{-1}$. The remaining half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with a speed of $3 \,ms^{-1}$ and $5 \,ms^{-1}$ respectively. The average speed of the particle for the entire journey is

  • A
    $\frac{3}{8} \,ms^{-1}$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{3} \,ms^{-1}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{3} \,ms^{-1}$
  • D
    $\frac{16}{3} \,ms^{-1}$

$A$ body is at rest at $x=0$. At $t=0$,it starts moving in the positive $x-$direction with a constant acceleration. At the same instant,another body passes through $x=0$ moving in the positive $x$ direction with a constant speed. The position of the first body is given by $x_{1}(t)$ after time $t$ and that of the second body by $x_{2}(t)$ after the same time interval. Which of the following graphs correctly describes $(x_{1}-x_{2})$ as a function of time $t$?

When the velocity of a body is variable,then:

$A$ person wearing a parachute jumps off a plane from a height of $2 \ km$ from the ground and falls freely for $20 \ m$ before his parachute opens. After his parachute opens,if he continues to move uniformly with the velocity attained due to his freefall,the total time taken by the person to reach the ground is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m/s^2$) (in $s$)

Which of the following four statements is false?

At time $t=0$,a particle leaves the origin and moves in the positive direction of the $X$-axis. If the velocity of the particle varies as $v(t)=v_0(1-t/t_0)$,where $|v_0|=10 \ m/s$ and $t_0=10 \ s$,then the distance covered by the particle during the first $20 \ s$ is: (in $m$)
