Motion in a Straight Line 



1. Uniform Motion:

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:

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.

Answers

  1. Average Speed:

    Average speed=Total distanceTotal time=150 km3 h=50 km/h\text{Average speed} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}} = \frac{150 \text{ km}}{3 \text{ h}} = 50 \text{ km/h}Average speed=Total timeTotal distance​=3 h150 km​=50 km/h
  2. Velocity after 5 seconds:

    v=u+at=0+(2 m/s2)(5 s)=10 m/sv = u + at = 0 + (2 \text{ m/s}^2)(5 \text{ s}) = 10 \text{ m/s}v=u+at=0+(2 m/s2)(5 s)=10 m/s
  3. Distance Traveled in 10 seconds:
  4. s=ut+12at2=0+12(1 m/s2)(10 s)2=50 m
  5. Velocity after 4 seconds:

    v=u+at=10 m/s+(3 m/s2)(4 s)=22 m/s
  6. Relative Velocity:

    vrelative=80 km/h60 km/h=20 km/h
  7. Time to Hit the Ground:

    h=12gt2    45=12(9.8)t2    t2=909.8    t3.03 sh = \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \implies 45 = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2 \implies t^2 = \frac{90}{9.8} \implies t \approx 3.03 \text{ s}
  8. Deceleration and Distance Covered:

    Deceleration=Δvt=20 m/s10 s=2 m/s2
