1. Uniform Motion:
A car travels a distance of 150 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed of the car in km/h?
2. Acceleration:
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at a rate of 2 m/s². Calculate the velocity of the car after 5 seconds.
3. Distance Covered Under Uniform Acceleration:
A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 1 m/s². How far will it travel in 10 seconds?
4. Equations of Motion:
A car moving with an initial velocity of 10 m/s accelerates at 3 m/s². What will be its velocity after 4 seconds?
5. Relative Velocity:
Two cars are moving in the same direction with velocities of 60 km/h and 80 km/h, respectively. What is the relative velocity of the second car with respect to the first car?
6. Free Fall:
An object is dropped from a height of 45 meters. Calculate the time taken by the object to hit the ground (assume g = 9.8 m/s²).
7. Uniformly Accelerated Motion:
A car is moving with a velocity of 20 m/s and comes to rest in 10 seconds with uniform deceleration. Calculate the deceleration and the distance covered by the car.
8. Vertical Motion:
A ball is thrown upwards with a velocity of 20 m/s. Calculate the maximum height reached by the ball (assume g = 9.8 m/s²).
9. Relative Motion:
Two trains, each 150 meters long, are moving in opposite directions with speeds of 50 km/h and 30 km/h, respectively. Calculate the time taken by the trains to cross each other.
10. Projectile Motion:
An object is projected horizontally from the top of a tower with a velocity of 10 m/s. If the height of the tower is 45 meters, calculate the time taken to hit the ground and the horizontal distance covered.
