Mark the correct statements for a particle moving in a straight line.

  • A
    If the position and velocity have opposite signs,the particle is moving towards the origin.
  • B
    If the velocity is zero for a time interval,the acceleration is zero at any instant within the time interval.
  • C
    If the velocity and acceleration have opposite signs,the object is slowing down.
  • D
    All of the above

Two stones are thrown up simultaneously from the edge of a cliff $240 \ m$ high with initial speeds of $10 \ m/s$ and $40 \ m/s$ respectively. Which of the following graphs best represents the time variation of the relative position of the second stone with respect to the first? (Assume stones do not rebound after hitting the ground and neglect air resistance,take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

Read each statement below carefully and state with reasons and examples,if it is true or false for a particle in one-dimensional motion:
$(a)$ With zero speed at an instant may have non-zero acceleration at that instant.
$(b)$ With zero speed may have non-zero velocity.
$(c)$ With constant speed must have zero acceleration.
$(d)$ With positive value of acceleration must be speeding up.

Two cars start from a point at the same time in a straight line and their positions are represented by $x_1(t) = at + bt^2$ and $x_2(t) = Ft - t^2$. At what time do the cars have the same velocity?

Which one of the following statements is wrong?

$A$ particle starts from rest and traverses a distance $l$ with uniform acceleration,then moves uniformly over a further distance $2l$ and finally comes to rest after moving a further distance $3l$ under uniform retardation. Assuming the entire motion to be rectilinear,the ratio of the average speed over the journey to the maximum speed on its way is: (in $/5$)
