$A$ body of mass $4 \,kg$ is accelerated by a constant force. It travels a distance of $5 \,m$ in the first second and a distance of $2 \,m$ in the third second. The force acting on the body is: (in $\,N$)

$A$ vehicle starts moving in a straight line with an acceleration $a = 4 \,m/s^2$, with initial velocity equal to zero. After accelerating for time $t_1$, the vehicle moves uniformly for time $t_2$, and finally decelerates for time $t_1$, eventually coming to a stop. The total time taken during the motion is $10 \,s$ and the average velocity during the motion is $5.1 \,m/s$. The time taken by the vehicle during acceleration is (in $\,s$)

$A$ car moving at a speed $V$ is stopped in a certain distance $s$ when the brakes produce a deceleration $a$. If the speed of the car is $nV$,what must be the deceleration of the car to stop it in the same distance $s$ and in the same time $t$?

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is constrained to move on the $x$-axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example,when the particle is to the left of $E$,$F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is constant except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards the left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t=0$. Find the minimum time it will take to reach from $x=-A/2$ to $x=0$.

$A$ car starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration. Describe the shapes of the $(i)$ $x-t$, $(ii)$ $v-t$, and $(iii)$ $a-t$ graphs for this motion.
