Kinematics Question 170
Question: A particle is moving in a straight line and passes through a point with a velocity of 6 .The particle moves with a constant retardation of 2 for 4 s and there after moves with constant velocity. How long after leaving does the particle return to ?
Options:
A) 3 s
B) 8 s
C) Never
D) 4 s
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] Let the particle moves toward right with velocity 6 m/s. due to retardation, after time
From
But retardation works on it for 4 sec.
It means after reaching point A, direction of motion gets reversed and acceleration works on the particle for next one second.
Now velocity of the particle at point B in return journey
In returen journey form B to C particle moves with constant velocity 2 m/s to cover the distance 8 m.
Time taken =
Total time taken by particle to return at point 0 it’s
