When brakes are applied to a moving vehicle, the distance it travels before stopping is called stopping distance. It is an important factor for road safety and depends on the initial velocity v0 and the braking capacity, or deceleration, –a that is caused by the braking. Expression for stopping distance of a vehicle in terms of v0 and a is:

 

  •   ds = v022a

  •   ds = -v022a

  •   ds = -v02a

  •   ds = -2av02

You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger (Fig. shown below). After you catch it if the distance d travelled by the ruler is 21.0 cm, your reaction time is:

  •   0.2 s

  •   0.4 s

  •   0 s

  •   0.1 s

Galileo’s law of odd numbers“The distances traversed, during equal intervals of time, by a body falling from rest, stand to one another in the ratio:

 

  •   as the odd numbers beginning with unity.

  •   as the even numbers beginning with unity.

  •   as the square of odd numbers beginning with unity.

  •   as the square of even numbers beginning with unity.

A train is moving in the north direction with a speed of 54 kmh-1. The velocity of a monkey running on the roof of the train against its motion (with a velocity of 18 kmh-1 with respect to train) as observed by a man standing on the ground is:

The position of an object moving along x-axis is given by x = a+bt2 where a = 8.5 m, b = 2.5 ms-2 and t is measured in seconds. Its velocity at t = 2.0 s will be
