The motion of a particle is described by the equation $x = a + bt^2$ where $a = 15 \, cm$ and $b = 3 \, cm/s^2$. Its instantaneous velocity at time $t = 3 \, s$ will be ........ $cm/s$.

The position-time $(x-t)$ graphs for two children $A$ and $B$ returning from their school $O$ to their homes $P$ and $Q$ respectively are shown in the figure. Choose the correct entries in the brackets below:
$(a)$ $(A/B)$ lives closer to the school than $(B/A)$
$(b)$ $(A/B)$ starts from the school earlier than $(B/A)$
$(c)$ $(A/B)$ walks faster than $(B/A)$
$(d)$ $A$ and $B$ reach home at the (same/different) time
$(e)$ $(A/B)$ overtakes $(B/A)$ on the road (once/twice)

$A$ particle starts from rest and undergoes an acceleration as shown in the figure. The velocity-time graph from the figure will have which shape?

Draw the $x-t$ graphs which represent positive,negative,and zero velocity.

The figure shows a velocity-time graph of a particle moving along a straight line. The total distance travelled by the particle is ........ $m$.

The acceleration of a moving body can be found from
