A ball rolls off to the top of a staircase with a horizontal velocity $$u\,m/s.$$ If the steps are $$h$$ metre high and $$b$$ metre wide, the ball will hit the edge of the $${n^{th}}$$ step, if
If the ball hits the $${n^{th}}$$ step, then the horizontal distance traversed $$= nh.$$ Here, the velocity along the horizontal direction $$= u.$$ Initial velocity along the vertical direction $$= 0.$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{So}}\,nb = ut\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& nh = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g{t^2}\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
From $$t = \frac{{nb}}{v},$$ putting in eq. (ii)
$$nh = \frac{1}{2}g \times {\left( {\frac{{nb}}{u}} \right)^2}\,{\text{or}}\,n = \frac{{2h{u^2}}}{{g{b^2}}}$$

A body is at rest at $$x =0.$$ At $$t=0,$$ it starts moving in the positive x-direction with a constant acceleration. At the same instant another body passes through $$x = 0$$ moving in the positive x-direction with a constant speed. The position of the first body is given by $${x_1}\left( t \right)$$ after time $$'t\, ’;$$ and that of the second body by $${x_2}\left( t \right)$$ after the same time interval. Which of the following graphs correctly describes $$\left( {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right)$$ as a function of time $$'t \,'$$ ?
For the body starting from rest
$${x_1} = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a{t^2} \Rightarrow {x_1} = \frac{1}{2}a{t^2}$$ For the body moving with constant speed
$$\eqalign{
& {x_2} = vt \cr
& \therefore {x_1} - {x_2} = \frac{1}{2}a{t^2} - vt \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{d\left( {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right)}}{{dt}} = at - v \cr
& {\text{at }}t = 0,\,\,\,\,\,\,{x_1} - {x_2} = 0 \cr
& {\text{For }}t < \frac{v}{a};\,{\text{the slope is negative}} \cr
& {\text{For }}t = \frac{v}{a};\,{\text{the slope is zero}} \cr
& {\text{For }}t > \frac{v}{a};\,{\text{the slope is positive}} \cr} $$
These characteristics are represented by graph (B).

A particle moves along a straight line such that its displacement at any time $$t$$ is given by $$s = \left( {{t^3} - 6{t^2} + 3t + 4} \right)m$$
The velocity when the acceleration is zero, is
For a body thrown vertically upwards acceleration remains constant ($$a =- g$$ ) and velocity at anytime $$t$$ is given by $$V=u- gt$$
During rise velocity decreases linearly and during fall velocity increases linearly and direction is opposite to each other.
Hence graph (A) correctly depicts velocity versus time.

Rain, pouring down at an angle $$\alpha $$ with the vertical has a speed of $$10\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ A girl runs against the rain with a speed of $$8\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ and sees that the rain makes an angle $$\beta $$ with the vertical, then relation between $$\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ is

A particle moves a distance $$x$$ in time $$t$$ according to equation $$x = {\left( {t + 5} \right)^{ - 1}}.$$ The acceleration of particle is proportional to
A
$${\left( {{\text{velocity}}} \right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$
B
$${\left( {{\text{distance}}} \right)^2}$$
C
$${\left( {{\text{distance}}} \right)^{ - 2}}$$

$${\left( {{\text{velocity}}} \right)^{\frac{2}{3}}}$$

The acceleration of a particle, starting from rest, varies with time according to the relation $$a = - s{\omega ^2}\sin \omega t.$$ The displacement of this particle at a time $$t$$ will be
A
$$s\sin \omega t$$
B
$$s\,\omega \cos \omega t$$
C
$$s\,\omega \sin \omega t$$
D
$$ - \frac{1}{2}\left( {s\,{\omega ^2}\sin \omega t} \right){t^2}$$
$$a = \frac{{{d^2}x}}{{d{t^2}}} = - s\,{\omega ^2}\sin \omega t.$$
On integrating, $$\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = s\,{\omega ^2}\frac{{\cos \omega t}}{\omega } = s\,\omega \cos \omega t$$
Again on integrating, we get
$$x = s\omega \frac{{\sin \omega t}}{\omega } = s\sin \omega t$$

The distance time graph of a particle at time $$t$$ makes angles $${45^ \circ }$$ with the time axis. After one second, it makes angle $${60^ \circ }$$ with the time axis. What is the acceleration of the particle?
Velocity at time $$t$$ is $$\tan {45^ \circ } = 1.$$ Velocity at time $$\left( {t = 1} \right)$$ is $$\tan {60^ \circ } = \sqrt 3 .$$ Acceleration is change in velocity in one second $$ = \sqrt 3 - 1.$$
