$A$ 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
    the maximum displacement in the direction of initial velocity is $10 \, m$
  • B
    the distance travelled in the first $3$ seconds is $7.5 \, m$
  • C
    the distance travelled in the first $3$ seconds is $12.5 \, m$
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(C)$

$A$ metro train starts from rest and in $5 \, s$ achieves $108 \, km/h$. After that,it moves with constant velocity and comes to rest after travelling $45 \, m$ with uniform retardation. If the total distance travelled is $395 \, m$,then the total time of travelling is ....... $s$.

$A$ 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?
