(1)Preeti reached the metro station and found that the escalator was not
working. She walked up the stationary escalator in time t₁. On the other days, if
she remains stationary on the moving escalator, then the escalator takes her up
in time t2. Find the time taken by her to walk on the moving escalator..
(2)Two particles move with initial velocity 4 m/s and 2 m/s and their
accelerations are 1m/s2 and 2 m/s² respectively. If both reach at the finalposition
in the same time, then calculate the length of the path travelled.

second minute and at 5.18 km/h in the third minute. Calculate the average
velocity in these three minutes.
(4)A rocket is fired vertically and ascends with a constant vertical acceleration.
In the duration of 5 s, it attains an upward velocity of 150 m s. After 5 s, its
engine stops functioning and rocket continues to move as a free particle and
finally returns on the earth. From the velocity-time graph of the rocket, calculate
(i) the height reached by the rocket during the period of burning of fuel
(g =10 m/s2); (ii) maximum height reached by the rocket and (iii) the
acceleration of the rocket during the period of fuel burning.
(5) What is the distance in (km) of a quasar from which light takes 3 x 10 years
to reach the earth? The speed of light, c=3x108 m/s.

takes to cross the bridge 1 km long.
(7) A police constable is chasing a thief, who is initially 10 m ahead of the
constable. The uniform speeds of the constable and the thief are 10m/s and 8 m/
s respectively. From the plot of position-time graphs for the constable and the
thief, find the time, the constable will take to catch the thief and the distance,
the constable has to run.
(8) A man starts from his home at 8:00 AM to his office. He walks with a speed
of 2 m s-1 on a road up to his office 30 km away from his home. He stays in the
office up to 4:00 PM and returns to his home by bus, which moves with a speed
of 10 m s-1. Calculate (i) the time taken by man to reach his office and
(i) time taken by the man to reach his home. Also, plot (x-1) graph of hismotion.

round trip.

second one third at a speed of 20 km/h and the last one third at a speed of
60 km/h. Determine the average speed of the car over the entire distance x.

the same time, another ball is thrown up with a velocity of 50 m/s. Plot the
position- time graph for the motion of the two balls during the time interval

runway. If it takes off at 35 m/s, calculate (a) the acceleration (b) time for which
it moves on the runway.

64 m during the first two equal consecutive intervals of time, each of duration 4
s. Determine the initial velocity and acceleration of the moving body.

(20)A body leaving a certain point O moves with an acceleration, which is
constant in magnitude and direction. At the end of the fifth second, its velocity
is 1.5 m/s. At the end of the sixth second, the body stops and then begins to
move backwards. (a) Find the distance traversed by the body, before it stops.
(b) Determine the velocity with which the body returns to point O.
(21).A hundred metre sprinter increases her speed from rest uniformly at the
rate of 1.5 m/s2 up to three quarters of the total run and covers the last quarter
with uniform speed. How much time does she take to cover the first half and the
second half of the run?
