$A$ point starts moving in a straight line with a certain acceleration. At a time $t$ after the beginning of motion,the acceleration suddenly becomes a retardation of the same value. The time in which the point returns to the initial point is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{2}t$
  • B
    $(2 + \sqrt{2})t$
  • C
    $\frac{t}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    Cannot be predicted unless acceleration is given

$A$ particle is moving in a straight line with initial velocity $u$ and uniform acceleration $a$. If the sum of the distance travelled in the $t^{\text{th}}$ and $(t+1)^{\text{th}}$ seconds is $100 \text{ cm}$,then its velocity after $t$ seconds,in $\text{cm/s}$,is:

Give examples of a one-dimensional motion where:
$(a)$ The particle moving along positive $x$-direction comes to rest periodically and moves forward.
$(b)$ The particle moving along positive $x$-direction comes to rest periodically and moves backward.

$A$ body moves from rest with a constant acceleration of $5\,m/s^2$. Its instantaneous speed (in $m/s$) at the end of $10\,s$ is:

If the velocity of a particle moving along a straight line with uniform acceleration is given by $V = \sqrt{196 - 16x} \text{ m/s}$, then its acceleration is ($x$ is the displacement of the particle). (in $\text{ m/s}^2$)

Acceleration of a body whose displacement follows the equation $3 s = 9 t + 5 t^2$ is in $m s^{-2}$. (in $/3$)
