The motion of a body is given by the equation $\frac{dv(t)}{dt} = 6.0 - 3v(t)$,where $v(t)$ is speed in $m/s$ and $t$ is in $s$. If the body was at rest at $t = 0$,which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The terminal speed is $2.0 \, m/s$.
  • B
    The speed varies with time as $v(t) = 2(1 - e^{-3t}) \, m/s$.
  • C
    The magnitude of the initial acceleration is $6.0 \, m/s^2$.
  • D
    All of the above.

For a body moving with uniform acceleration along a straight line, the variation of its velocity $(v)$ with position $(x)$ is best represented by:

Stopping distance of vehicles: When brakes are applied to a moving vehicle,the distance it travels before stopping is called stopping distance. It is an important factor for road safety and depends on the initial velocity $(v_0)$ and the braking capacity,or deceleration,$-a$ that is caused by the braking. Derive an expression for stopping distance of a vehicle in terms of $v_0$ and $a$.

The displacement of a body is given to be proportional to the cube of time elapsed. The magnitude of the acceleration of the body is

$A$ 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?
