A stone falls freely under gravity. It covers distances $${h_1},{h_2}$$ and $${h_3}$$ in the first $$5s,$$ the next $$5s$$ and the next $$5s$$ respectively. The relation between $${h_1},{h_2}$$ and $${h_3}$$ is
A
$${h_1} = 2{h_2} = 3{h_3}$$
B
$${h_1} = \frac{{{h_2}}}{3} = \frac{{{h_3}}}{5}$$
C
$${h_2} = 3{h_1}\,{\text{and}}\,{h_3} = 3{h_2}$$
For free fall from a height, $$u = 0$$
$$\therefore $$ Distance covered by stone in first $$5 s,$$
$${h_1} = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g{\left( 5 \right)^2} = \frac{{25}}{2}g\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
$$\therefore $$ Distance covered in first $$10 s,$$
$${s_2} = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g{\left( {10} \right)^2} = \frac{{100}}{2}g$$
$$\therefore $$ Distance covered in second $$5 s$$
$${h_2} = {s_2} - {h_1} = \frac{{100}}{2}g - \frac{{25}}{2}g = \frac{{72}}{2}g\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
$$\therefore $$ Distance covered in first $$15 s,$$
$${s_3} = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g{\left( {15} \right)^2} = \frac{{225}}{2}g$$
$$\therefore $$ Distance coveted in last $$5 s,$$
$${h_3} = {s_3} - {s_2} = \frac{{225}}{2}g - \frac{{100}}{2}g = \frac{{125}}{2}g\,......\left( {{\text{iii}}} \right)$$
From Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
$$\eqalign{
& {h_1}:{h_2}:{h_3} = \frac{{25}}{2}g:\frac{{75}}{2}g:\frac{{125}}{2}g = 1:3:5 \cr
& \Rightarrow {h_1} = \frac{{{h_2}}}{3} = \frac{{{h_3}}}{5} \cr} $$

A point traversed half of the distance with a velocity $${v_0}.$$ The half of remaining part of the distance was covered with velocity $${v_1}\& $$ second half of remaining part by $${v_2}$$ velocity. The mean velocity of the point, averaged over the whole time of motion is
Let the total distance be $$d.$$ Then for first half distance, time $$ = \frac{d}{{2{v_0}}},$$ next distance. $$ = {v_1}t$$ and last half distance $$ = {v_2}t$$
$$\therefore {v_1}t + {v_2}t = \frac{d}{2};t = \frac{d}{{2\left( {{v_1} + {v_2}} \right)}}$$
Now average speed
$$\eqalign{
& t = \frac{d}{{\frac{d}{{2{v_0}}} + \frac{d}{{2\left( {{v_1} + {v_2}} \right)}} + \frac{d}{{2\left( {{v_1} + {v_2}} \right)}}}} \cr
& = \frac{{2{v_0}\left( {{v_1} + {v_2}} \right)}}{{\left( {2{v_0} + {v_1} + {v_2}} \right)}} \cr} $$

A ball is released from the top of a tower of height $$h$$ meters. It takes $$T$$ seconds to reach the ground. What is the position of the ball at $$\frac{T}{3}$$ second-
A
$$\frac{{8h}}{9}$$ meters from the ground
B
$$\frac{{7h}}{9}$$ meters from the ground
C
$$\frac{{h}}{9}$$ meters from the ground
D
$$\frac{{17h}}{18}$$ meters from the ground
Answer :
$$\frac{{8h}}{9}$$ meters from the ground
We know that
$$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}g{t^2},\,\,or\,h = \frac{1}{2}g{T^2}\left( {\because u = 0} \right)$$
now for $$\frac{T}{3}$$ second, vertical distance moved is given by
$$h' = \frac{1}{2}g{\left( {\frac{T}{3}} \right)^2} \Rightarrow h' = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{{g{T^2}}}{9} = \frac{h}{9}$$
$$\therefore $$ position of ball from ground $$ = h - \frac{h}{9} = \frac{{8h}}{9}$$

The length of second’s hand in a watch is $$1\,cm.$$ The change in velocity of its tip in 15 seconds is:
$$\Delta v = \sqrt 2 v = \sqrt 2 \omega r = \sqrt 2 \left( {\frac{{2\pi }}{{60}}} \right) \times 1 = \frac{{\pi \sqrt 2 }}{{30}}cm/s$$

A car, starting from rest, accelerates at the rate $$f$$ through a distance $$S,$$ then continues at constant speed for time $$t$$ and then decelerates at the rate $$\frac{f}{2}$$ to come to rest. If the total distance traversed is $$15 \,S ,$$ then-
distance from $$A$$ to $$B$$ $$ = S = \frac{1}{2}ft_1^2 \Rightarrow ft_1^2 = 2S$$
Distance from $$B$$ to $$C$$ $$ = \left( {f{t_1}} \right)t$$
distance from $$C$$ to $$D$$ $$ = \frac{{{u^2}}}{{2a}} = \frac{{{{\left( {f{t_1}} \right)}^2}}}{{2\left( {\frac{f}{2}} \right)}} = ft_1^2 = 2S$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow S + f\,{t_1}t + 2\,S = 15\,S \cr
& \Rightarrow f\,{t_1}t = 12\,S \cr
& {\text{But}}\,\frac{1}{2}f\,t_1^2 = S \cr} $$
On dividing the above two equations, we get $${t_1} = \frac{t}{6}$$
$$ \Rightarrow S = \frac{1}{2}f{\left( {\frac{t}{6}} \right)^2} = \frac{{f\,{t^2}}}{{72}} = \frac{1}{{72}}f\,{t^2}$$

For a particle in uniform circular motion, the acceleration $${\vec a}$$ at a point $$P\left( {R,\theta } \right)$$ on the circle of radius $$R$$ is (Here $$\theta $$ is measured from the x-axis )
A
$$ - \frac{{{v^2}}}{R}\cos \theta \,\hat i + \frac{{{v^2}}}{R}\sin \theta \,\hat j$$
B
$$ - \frac{{{v^2}}}{R}\sin\theta \,\hat i + \frac{{{v^2}}}{R}\cos\theta \,\hat j$$
C
$$ - \frac{{{v^2}}}{R}\cos \theta \,\hat i - \frac{{{v^2}}}{R}\sin \theta \,\hat j$$
D
$$\frac{{{v^2}}}{R}\hat i + \frac{{{v^2}}}{R}\hat j$$

Two particles $$A$$ and $$B$$ are connected by a rigid rod $$AB.$$ The rod slides along perpendicular rails as shown here. The velocity of $$A$$ to the right is $$10\,m/s.$$ What is the velocity of $$B$$ when angle $$\alpha = {60^ \circ }?$$
Let the velocity along $$x$$ and $$y$$-axes be $${v_x}$$ and $${v_y}$$ respectively.
$$\therefore {v_x} = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}}\,{\text{and}}\,{v_y} = \frac{{dy}}{{dt}}$$
From figure,
$$\tan \alpha = \frac{y}{x} \Rightarrow y = x\tan \alpha $$
Differentiating Eq. (i), w.r.t. $$t,$$ we get
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}}\tan \alpha \cr
& \Rightarrow \quad {v_y} = {v_x}\tan \alpha \cr
& {\text{Here,}}\,\,{v_x} = 10\;m/s,\alpha = {60^ \circ } \cr
& \therefore \quad {v_y} = 10\tan {60^ \circ } \cr
& = 10\sqrt 3 = 17.3\;m/s \cr} $$

Three different objects of masses $${m_1},{m_2}$$ and $${m_3}$$ are allowed to fall from rest and from the same point $$O$$ along three different frictionless paths. The speeds of the three objects on reaching the ground will be in the ratio of
A
$${m_1}:{m_2}:{m_3}$$
B
$${m_1}:2{m_2}:3{m_3}$$
C
$$1:1:1$$
D
$$\frac{1}{{{m_1}}}:\frac{1}{{{m_2}}}:\frac{1}{{{m_3}}}$$
When an object falls freely under gravity, then its speed depends only on its height of fall and is independent of the mass of the object. As all objects are falling through the same height, therefore their speeds on reaching the ground will be in the ratio of $$1:1:1.$$ Alternative
The vertical displacement for all the three is same and paths are frictionless. So, by conservation of mechanical energy,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = mgl \Rightarrow v = \sqrt {2gl} \cr
& {\text{So,}}\,{v_1}:{v_2}:{v_3} = 1:1:1 \cr} $$

A man of height $$h$$ walks in a straight path towards a lamp post of height $$H$$ with velocity $$v.$$ Then velocity of the edge of the shadow on the ground will be
As $$\Delta LOS$$ and $$\Delta MPS$$ are similar so,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{H}{x} = \frac{h}{{x - y}} \Rightarrow \left( {H - h} \right)x = Hy \cr
& \Rightarrow \left( {H - h} \right)\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = H\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = Hv \cr
& \Rightarrow {V_s} = \frac{{Hv}}{{H - h}} \cr} $$

A particle moves along a straight line $$OX.$$ At a time $$t$$ (in second), the distance $$x$$ (in metre) of the particle from $$O$$ is given by
$$x = 40 + 12t - {t^3}$$
How long would the particle travel before coming to rest?
First $$X$$ by $$X$$ differentiating displacement equation we get velocity of the body, since body comes to rest so velocity becomes zero. Now by putting the value of time $$t$$ in displacement equation we get the distance travelled by the body when it comes to rest.
Distance travelled by the particle is $$x = 40 + 12t - {t^3}$$
We know that, velocity is the rate of change of distance i.e. $$v = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}}.$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore v = \frac{d}{{dt}}\left( {40 + 12t - {t^3}} \right) \cr
& = 0 + 12 - 3{t^2} \cr} $$
but final velocity $$v = 0$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore 12 - 3{t^2} = 0 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,{t^2} = \frac{{12}}{3} = 4 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,t = 2\,s \cr} $$
Hence, distance travelled by the particle before coming to rest is given by
$$\eqalign{
& x = 40 + 12\left( 2 \right) - {\left( 2 \right)^3} \cr
& = 40 + 24 - 8 \cr
& = 64 - 8 \cr
& = 56\,m \cr} $$
