A street car moves rectilinearly from station $A$ to the next station $B$ with an acceleration varying according to the law $a=(b-c x)$, where $b$ and $c$ are constants and $x$ is the distance from station $A$. The distance between the two stations and the maximum velocity are

  • A
    $x=2 b / c, v_{\max }=\frac{b}{\sqrt{c}}$
  • B
    $x=\frac{c}{2 b}, v_{\max }=b / c$
  • C
    $x=\frac{b}{2 c}, v_{\max }=\frac{c}{\sqrt{a}}$
  • D
    $x=b / c, v_{\max }=\frac{\sqrt{b}}{c}$

The acceleration of a particle is increasing linearly with time $t$ as $bt$. The particle starts from the origin with an initial velocity ${v_0}$. The distance travelled by the particle in time $t$ will be

Given figure shows the $x-t$ plot of one-dimensional motion of a particle. Is it correct to say from the graph that the particle moves in a straight line for $t < 0$ and on a parabolic path for $t >0$? If not, suggest a suitable physical context for this graph.

If the velocity $v$ of a particle moving along a straight line decreases linearly with its displacement $s$ from $20\,ms ^{-1}$ to a value approaching zero at $s=30\,m$, then acceleration of the particle at $s=15\,m$ is $........$
