Q1.

A cyclist rides 4 km east, then 3 km north. What is the magnitude of the displacement?

Q2.

A particle's position is given by x = 5t² − 3t + 2 (in metres, t in seconds). What is its velocity at t = 2 s?

Q3.

A car accelerates uniformly from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 5 seconds. Find the acceleration.

Q4.

A ball is thrown vertically upward with speed 20 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s², how long does it take to return to the thrower's hand?

Q5.

A stone dropped from a tower reaches the ground in 4 s. Taking g = 10 m/s², find the height of the tower.

Q6.

A particle moving with constant acceleration covers 10 m in the 3rd second and 14 m in the 5th second. Find its acceleration.

Q7.

Two cars, A and B, move in the same direction at 25 m/s and 18 m/s respectively. What is the velocity of A relative to B?

Q8.

A projectile is launched at 30° to the horizontal with speed 40 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s², find its time of flight.

Q9.

For a projectile launched at angle θ, the range is maximum when θ equals:

Q10.

A ball rolls off a table 1.25 m high with a horizontal speed of 2 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s², how far from the table's edge does it land?

Q11.

Rain falls vertically at 8 m/s. A person walks horizontally at 6 m/s. At what angle to the vertical should they hold their umbrella?

Q12.

A boat can row at 6 km/h in still water. A river flows at 4 km/h. What is the boat's maximum possible speed relative to the ground (moving directly downstream)?

Q13.

A particle moves with velocity v = 4t − 2 (SI units). What is its displacement between t = 0 and t = 3 s?

Q14.

A body starts from rest and moves with constant acceleration for 10 s, covering 100 m. What is its acceleration?

Q15.

A stone is thrown upward with speed u and reaches a maximum height H. To double the maximum height (keeping g constant), the new speed must be:

Q16.

Two trains, each 100 m long, move toward each other on parallel tracks at 20 m/s and 30 m/s. How long do they take to cross each other completely?

Q17.

A particle moving along a straight line has velocity v² = 64 − 16x (SI units), where x is its position. What is its acceleration?

Q18.

A ball is dropped from height h above the ground. At what fraction of h has it covered exactly half of its total fall time?
