Two particles $A$ and $B$ start from rest and move for equal time on a straight line. Particle $A$ has an acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$ for the first half of the total time and $4\,m/s^2$ for the second half. The particle $B$ has acceleration $4\,m/s^2$ for the first half and $2\,m/s^2$ for the second half. Which particle has covered a larger distance?

  • A
    $A$
  • B
    $B$
  • C
    Both have covered the same distance
  • D

If the decrease in velocity is the same in equal intervals of time,then describe the $x-t$ graph.

The relation between time $t$ and displacement $x$ is $t = \alpha x^2 + \beta x$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants. If $v$ is the velocity,the retardation is:
