1
The distance between two stations is 3.6 m. A train starting from one
station, receives an acceleration( reaching a speed of 6.0 m /s in 5
seconds) until the speed reaches 12 m/s. This speed is maintained until
the brakes are applied and train is brought to rest at the second station
under a negative acceleration of 1.5 m/s
2
, find the time to perform this
journey .
2
Two trains A and B leave the same station on parallel lines. A start with
uniform acceleration of 0.15 m/s
2
and attains a speed of 27 km/hour .
When steam is reduced to keep the speed constant . B leaves 40
seconds after with a uniform acceleration of 0.3 m/s
2
to attain a
maximum speed of 54 km/hr. When and where will B overtake A ?
3
A ball is dropped from the top of a tower 30 m high. At the same
instant a second ball is thrown upward from the ground with an initial
velocity of 15 m/s. When and where do they cross and with what relative
velocity.
4
A stone is dropped into a well and sound of splash is heard on the top
after 4 seconds. If the sound travels at 340 m/s determine the depth
of the well.
5
The position of a particle moving along a straight line is defined by the
relation x = t
3
9 t
2
+ 15 t + 18 where x is expressed in metres and t in
seconds. Determine the time, position and acceleration of the particle
when its velocity becomes zero.
6
A wheel rotates for 5 seconds with a constant angular acceleration and
describes during this time 120 radians. It then rotates with constant
angular velocity, and during the next 5 seconds describes 100 radians.
Find the initial angular velocity and the angular acceleration.
7
A motorist is driving his car at 40 km/hr. He observes red light 200 m
ahead turn ahead turn red. The traffic light remain red for 15 second.

If the motorist wishes to pass the light without stopping, find the
required minimum acceleration.

A train starts from rest and moves along a curved track of radius 800 m
with a uniform acceleration until it attains a velocity of 72 km/hr at the
end of third minute. Determine the tangential, normal and total
acceleration in m/s
2
of the train at the end of second minute.

A cylinder of radius 1 m rolls without slipping along a horizontal plane
AB. Its center has a uniform velocity of 20 m/s. Find the velocity of
points E and F on the circumference of the cylinder shown in fig.

A girl hits a ball at an angle arctan to the horizontal from a point O which is 0.5m
above level ground. The initial speed of the ball is . The ball just clears a
fence which is a horizontal distance of 18m from the girl. By modelling the ball as a
particle find the time taken for the ball to reach the fence and the height of the
fence.
