A particle located at $$x=0$$ at time $$t=0,$$ starts moving along with the positive $$x$$-direction with a velocity $$'v\,'$$ that varies as $$v = \alpha \sqrt x .$$ The displacement of the particle varies with time as-
A.
$${t^2}$$
B.
$$t$$
C.
$${t^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$
D.
$${t^3}$$
Answer :
$${t^2}$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{
& v = \alpha \sqrt x ,\,\,\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = \alpha \sqrt x \Rightarrow \frac{{dx}}{{\sqrt x }} = \alpha \,dt \cr
& \int\limits_0^x {\frac{{dx}}{{\sqrt x }}} = \alpha \int\limits_0^t {dt} \cr
& \Rightarrow \left[ {\frac{{2\sqrt x }}{1}} \right]_0^x = \alpha \left[ t \right]_0^t \cr
& \Rightarrow 2\sqrt x = \alpha t \cr
& \Rightarrow x = \frac{{{\alpha ^2}}}{4}{t^2} \cr} $$

A river is flowing from west to east at a speed of $$5$$ metres per minute. A man on the south bank of the river, capable of swimming at $$10$$ metres per minute in still water, wants to swim across the river in the shortest time. He should swim in a direction-
A boat which has a speed of $$5 km/hr$$ in still water crosses a river of width $$1 \,km$$ along the shortest possible path in $$15 \,minutes.$$ The velocity of the river water in $$km/hr$$ is-
In $$1.0\,s,$$ a particle goes from point $$A$$ to point $$B,$$ moving in a semicircle of radius $$1.0 \,m$$ (see Figure). The magnitude of the average velocity-
A ball is dropped vertically from a height $$d$$ above the ground. It hits the ground and bounces up vertically to a height $$\frac{d}{2}.$$ Neglecting subsequent motion and air resistance, its velocity $$v$$ varies with the height $$h$$ above the ground as-
