This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
let speed of two balls be V1and V2
Where v1=2v and v2=v and y1and y2 be the distance covered
So y1= and y2=
So y1-y2= 15
V2=
So clearly we can say v1=20 and v2=10
And y1=20m and y2=5m
If t2 is the time taken by ball 2 through a distance of 5m, y2=v2t-1/2gt2
5=10t2-5t22 so t2 will be 15
Then time covered by ball 1 in 2 sec between two throws = t1-t2= 2-1=1s

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a) for maximum velocity dv/dt=0
d/dt (6t-2t2)=0
6-4t=0 t= 6/4=1.5s
(b) v=6t-2t2
ds/dt=6t-2t2
ds=6t-2t2dt
distance in 3s, S= 30
s= 27-18=9m
average velocity = distance /time =9/3 = 3m/s
x= 6t-2t2
3=6t-2t2
After solving we get t= 9/4s approx.
(c) in periodic motion when velocity is zero
0=6t-2t2
0=t (6-2t)
So t=0, 3 sec
(d) distance covered from 0 to 3s=9m
distance covered in 3 to 6s=
S= (18t- )6
S= 108-9 (18)+
S= -4.5m
So total distance covered = 9+ (-4.5)=4.5m
No of cycles covered in that distance =20/4.5=4.44approx

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
speed of car and truck = 72km/h = 72 (5/18) =20m/s
V= u+at
0=20+a (5) so a=-4m/s2
But retarted acceleration will be v=u+at
0=20+a (3)
So a= -20/3m/s2
We also need to consider human response time = 0.5 s
V=u-at (for retarded motion)
V= 20- ….1
Vt=20-4t ….2
From 1 and 2
20-=20-4t
After solving we get t= 5/4s
Distance travelled by truck in time t, S=ut+1/2at2
= 20
To avoid the bump onto the truck car must maintain distance = 23.125-21.875=1.250m

(a) velocity attained by a falling rain drop will be =
=
(b) diameter of the rain drop = 2r=4mm
Radius = 2mm= 2
Mass of rain drop = V
Momentum of rain drop= mv= 3.4
(c) time ,t = d/v=
(d) force exerted, F = change in momentum /time=
(e) area =
number of drops striking the the umbrella with separation of 5
so net force =

3.28 The graph has a non-uniform slope between the intervals t1 and t2 – the graph is not a straight line. The equations (a), (b), and (e) do not describe the motion of the particle. Only the relations (c), (d) and (f) are correct.

(a) Distance travelled by the particle between t = 0 s and t = 10 s is the area of the triangle = (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 10 x 12 = 60 m
The average speed of the particle is 60/10 m/s = 6 m/s
(b) Distance travelled by the particle between t = 2 s and t = 6 s
Let S1 be the distance travelled by the particle in time 2 to 5 s and S2 be the distance travelled between 5 to 6s.
For the motion from 0 to 5 sec, u = 0, t = 5, v = 12 m/s
From the equation v = u + at we get a = (v-u)/t = 12/5 = 2.4 m/s2
Distance covered from 2 to 5 sec, S1 = distance covered in 5 s – distance covered in 2 s
From the equation s = ut + at2 we

Initial velocity, u1 = 15m/s, acceleration, a = -g = -10 m/s
From the relation s1=s0+u1t+ (1/2)at2 where
s0 = cliff height, s1 = total height of the fall of the first stone, we get
s1 = 200 + 15t – 5t2 ………. (1)
When the stone hit the floor, s1 = 0, so the equation (1) becomes
0 = 200 +15t - 5t2 = t2 -3t – 40 = (t-8) (t+5) = 0
So t = 8s or -5s
Since the stone was thrown at t=0, so t cannot be –ve. Hence t = 8s
For the second stone,
Initial velocity, u1 = 30 m/s, acceleration, a = -g = -10 m/s
From the relation s2=s0+u1t+ (1/2)at2 where
s0 = cliff height, s2= total height of the fall of the s

Speed of belt = 4 km/h
(a) When the boy runs in the direction of motion of the belt, then the speed of the child observed by the stationary observer = 9 + 4 = 13 km/h
(b) When the boy runs in the opposite direction of motion of the belt, then the speed of the child observed by the stationary observer = 9-4 = 5 km/h
(c) Distance between the parents = 50 m = 0.05km
Speed of the boy, as observed by both parents = 9 km/h.
Time required by the boy to move to any parent = 0.05 / 9 h = 20s

3.24 The initial velocity of the ball, u = 49m/s
First Case: When the ball returns to his hands, total displacement = 0
From the relation s = ut + 0.5at2, we get 0 = 49t + 0.5 (-9.81) t2
4.905 = 49t Hence t = 10s
Second Case:
As the lift started moving up with a speed of 5 m/s, the initial velocity of the ball = 49 + 5 m/s = 54 m/s
If t' is time for the ball to return to his hand, the displacement of the ball will be = 5t'
From the relation s = ut + 0.5 x at2, we get
5t' = 54t' + 0.5 * (-9.8) t'2
49t' = 4.9 t'2
t' = 10 s

3.23 The distance covered by the 3 wheeler on a straight line in the nth second can be expressed as:
Sn = u + a (2n-1)/2 …… (1),
Where
a = acceleration
u = initial velocity
n = time = 1,2,3, ……., n
Given, u = 0, a = 1m/s2, from equation (1) we get Sn = (2n-1)/2 ……. (2)
With various values of n, we get Sn
n Sn
