$A$ particle initially at rest is subjected to two forces. One is constant,the other is a retarding force proportional to the particle velocity. In the subsequent motion of the particle,

  • A
    the acceleration will increase from zero to a constant value
  • B
    the acceleration will decrease from its initial value to zero
  • C
    the velocity will increase from zero to a constant value.
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is acted upon by a force $F$ given by the empirical law $F = \frac{R}{t^2} v(t)$. If this law is to be tested experimentally by observing the motion starting from rest,the best way is to plot:

$A$ car of mass $500\, kg$ is driven with acceleration $1\, m/s^2$ along a straight level road against a constant external resistance of $1000\, N$. When the velocity is $5\, m/s$,the rate at which the engine is working is .............. $kW$.

The graph below shows the variation of a force $F$ with time $t$ on a body which is moving in a straight line. The dependence of force on time is $F \propto t^{n}$. Initially,the body is at rest. If the speed of the object is $2 \, m/s$ at $3 \, s$,then the speed at $4 \, s$ will be approximately (in $m/s$):
