$A$ drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes $5$ steps forward and $3$ steps backward,followed again by $5$ steps forward and $3$ steps backward,and so on. Each step is $1\; m$ long and requires $1\; s$. Plot the $x-t$ graph of his motion. How long (in $s$) does the drunkard take to fall into a pit $13\; m$ away from the start?

  • A
    $32$
  • B
    $37$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $13$

$A$ body is at rest at $x=0$. At $t=0$,it starts moving in the positive $x-$direction with a constant acceleration. At the same instant,another body passes through $x=0$ moving in the positive $x$ direction with a constant speed. The position of the first body is given by $x_{1}(t)$ after time $t$ and that of the second body by $x_{2}(t)$ after the same time interval. Which of the following graphs correctly describes $(x_{1}-x_{2})$ as a function of time $t$?

$A$ particle has an initial velocity of $10 \, m/s$. It moves due to a constant retarding force along the line of motion,which produces a retardation of $5 \, m/s^2$. Then:

$A$ cyclist traversed half the distance of a linear track with a velocity $10 \ m \ s^{-1}$. The remaining part of the track was covered with a velocity $v_1$ for half the time and a velocity $v_2$ for the other half of the time. If $v_1+v_2=20 \ m \ s^{-1}$, then the average velocity of the cyclist during the completion of the journey through the track is (in $m \ s^{-1}$)

Match the following columns.
Column $I$ Column $II$
$(A)$ Constant positive acceleration $(p)$ Speed may increase
$(B)$ Constant negative acceleration $(q)$ Speed may decrease
$(C)$ Constant displacement $(r)$ Speed is zero
$(D)$ Constant slope of $a-t$ graph $(s)$ Speed must increase
