$A$ ball is gently dropped from a height of $20 \, m$. If its velocity increases uniformly at the rate of $10 \, m s^{-2}$,with what velocity will it strike the ground? After what time will it strike the ground?

  • A
    $v=10 \, m s^{-1}; t=1 \, s$
  • B
    $v=20 \, m s^{-1}; t=1 \, s$
  • C
    $v=20 \, m s^{-1}; t=2 \, s$
  • D
    $v=10 \, m s^{-1}; t=2 \, s$

$A$ driver of a car travelling at $52\, km\, h^{-1}$ applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in $5\, s$. Another driver going at $3\, km\, h^{-1}$ in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in $10\, s$. On the same graph paper,plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
