Two cars start from a point at the same time in a straight line and their positions are represented by $x_1(t) = at + bt^2$ and $x_2(t) = Ft - t^2$. At what time do the cars have the same velocity?

  • A
    $\frac{a+F}{2(b-1)}$
  • B
    $\frac{a-F}{1+b}$
  • C
    $\frac{a+F}{2(1+b)}$
  • D
    $\frac{F-a}{2(1+b)}$

$A$ 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 ....... $s$.

$A$ man walks on a straight road from his home to a market $2.5 \; km$ away with a speed of $5 \; km \; h^{-1}$. Finding the market closed,he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of $7.5 \; km \; h^{-1}$. What is the average speed of the man over the interval of time $0$ to $40 \; min$?

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

The displacement of a particle moving in a straight line depends on time as $x = \alpha t^3 + \beta t^2 + \gamma t + \delta$. The ratio of initial acceleration to its initial velocity depends on:
