$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves on the $x$-axis as follows: it starts from rest at $t = 0$ from the point $x = 0$ and comes to rest at $t = 1$ at the point $x = 1$. No other information is available about its motion at intermediate time $(0 < t < 1)$. If $\alpha$ denotes the instantaneous acceleration of the particle,then
- A$\alpha$ cannot remain positive for all $t$ in the interval $0 \le t \le 1$
- B$|\alpha|$ cannot exceed $2$ at any point in its path
- C$\alpha$ must change sign during the motion but no other assertion can be made with the information given
- DBoth $(a)$ and $(c)$

View SolutionAt 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 $m$)

View Solution$A$ man in a car at location $Q$ on a straight highway is moving with speed $v$. He decides to reach a point $P$ in a field at a distance $d$ from the highway (point $M$) as shown in the figure. The speed of the car in the field is half of that on the highway. What should be the distance $RM$ so that the time taken to reach $P$ is minimum?
