An express train is moving with a velocity $v_1$. Its driver finds another train moving on the same track in the same direction with velocity $v_2$. To escape a collision,the driver applies a retardation $a$ to the train. The minimum time to escape a collision will be:

  • A
    $t = \frac{v_1 - v_2}{a}$
  • B
    $t = \frac{v_1^2 - v_2^2}{2a}$
  • C
    None
  • D
    Both

$A$ car is standing $200\, m$ behind a bus,which is also at rest. The two start moving at the same instant but with different forward accelerations. The bus has an acceleration of $2\, m/s^2$ and the car has an acceleration of $4\, m/s^2$. The car will catch up with the bus after a time of:

Ball $A$ is thrown vertically upward with a speed of $10 \, m/s$. At the same instant,another ball $B$ is released from rest at a height $h$. At time $t$,the speed of $A$ relative to $B$ is ...........

What are the speeds of two objects if,when they move uniformly towards each other,they get $4\,m$ closer in each second and when they move uniformly in the same direction with the original speeds,they get $4.0\,m$ closer each $10\,s$?

Train $A$ is moving along two parallel rail tracks towards north with speed $72 \ km/h$ and train $B$ is moving towards south with speed $108 \ km/h$. The velocity of train $B$ with respect to $A$ and the velocity of the ground with respect to $B$ are (in $ms^{-1}$):

Two stones are thrown up simultaneously with initial speeds of $u_1$ and $u_2$ $(u_2 > u_1)$. They hit the ground after $6 \, s$ and $10 \, s$ respectively. Which graph in the figure correctly represents the time variation of $\Delta x = (x_2 - x_1)$,the relative position of the second stone with respect to the first up to $t = 10 \, s$? Assume that the stones do not rebound after hitting the ground.
