  • A
    Both average speed and instantaneous speed are always zero.
  • B
    Average speed is always non-zero but instantaneous speed can be zero.
  • C
    Instantaneous speed is always non-zero but average speed can be zero.
  • D
    Both average speed and instantaneous speed are always non-zero.

The velocity of a particle moving on the $x$-axis is given by $v = x^2 + x$,where $v$ is in $m/s$ and $x$ is in $m$. Find its acceleration in $m/s^2$ when passing through the point $x = 2 \ m$.

The maximum possible acceleration of a train moving on a straight track is $10\ m/s^2$ and the maximum possible retardation is $5\ m/s^2$. If the maximum achievable speed of the train is $10\ m/s$,then the minimum time in which the train can complete a journey of $135\ m$ starting from rest and ending at rest is.........$s$.

$A$ bullet is shot vertically downwards with an initial velocity of $100\,m/s$ from a certain height. Within $10\,s$,the bullet reaches the ground and instantaneously comes to rest due to a perfectly inelastic collision. The velocity-time curve for the total time $t = 20\,s$ will be: (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is constrained to move on the $x$-axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example,when the particle is to the left of $E$,$F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F_0$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards the left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0$. The velocity-time graph of the particle is:
