1. Study the velocity-time graph of a car is given below and solves the given questions. (3%)

A) What type of motion is represented by OA?

B) What type of motion is represented by AB?

C) What type of motion is represented by BC?

D) Find the acceleration of the body from O to A.

E) Find out retardation of the body from B to C.

F) Find out the distance travelled by the body from A to B.

2. Velocity time graph for the motion of a body is shown below: (3%)

A) Which part of the graph shoes accelerated motion? Also calculate the acceleration

B) Which part of the graph shows retarded motion? Also calculate the retardation

C) Calculate the distance travelled by the body in first 10 seconds.

3. A person throws a stone upwards at 20m/s while standing on the edge a cliff, so that the stone
can fall to the base of the cliff 100 meters below.(2%)
A) How long does it take the ball to reach the base of the cliff?
B) Final velocity just before stone strikes the ground. Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8m/s2.
Ignore air resistance.
4. A jet cruising at a speed of 1000 km/hr ejects hot air in the opposite direction. If the speed of
hot air with respect to Jet is 800 km/hr, then find its speed with respect to ground. (1%)
5. Two cars, initially at a separation of 12m, start simultaneously. First car “A’’, starting from
rest, moves with an acceleration 2m/s2, whereas the car “B’’, which is ahead, moves with a
constant velocity 1m/s along the same direction. Find the time when car “A’’ overtakes car
“B’’. (1%)
