$A$ goods train accelerating uniformly on a straight railway track approaches an electric pole standing on the side of the track. Its engine passes the pole with velocity $u$ and the guard's room passes with velocity $v$. The middle wagon of the train passes the pole with a velocity of:

  • A
    $\frac{u + v}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{u^2 + v^2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{uv}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{u^2 + v^2}{2}}$

$A$ particle starts its motion from rest under the action of a constant force. If the distance covered in the first $10 \ s$ is $S_1$ and that covered in the first $20 \ s$ is $S_2$,then:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is constrained to move on the $x$-axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example,when the particle is to the left of $E$,$F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards the left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0$. What is the period of the motion?

Match the relations in Column-$I$ with the equations in Column-$II$ for uniformly accelerated motion.
Column-$I$ Column-$II$
$(1)$ Velocity-time relation $(a)$ $v = v_0 + at$
$(2)$ Velocity-displacement relation $(b)$ $S = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$
$(c)$ $v^2 = v_0^2 + 2as$
