Q1. A jet lands on an aircraft carrier at 30 m/s. What is its acceleration if it stops in 2.0 s?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 30 m/s

As it stops then final velocity v = 0 m/s

Time taken t = 2.0 s

We know,

v-u = at

=> 0-30= 2a

=> a = 

-ve sign shows velocity is decreasing.


Q2. A jet lands on an aircraft carrier at 60 m/s. It stops in 2.0 s? What is the displacement of the plane in m while it is stopping?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 60 m/s

As it stops so final velocity v = 0 m/s

Time taken t = 2 seconds

We know

v-u = at


Also


From (1), we have



After putting given values, we have 


=> s = 120-60 = 60 m


Q3. A jet lands on an aircraft carrier at 30 m/s. It stops in 2.0 s? What is the displacement of the plane in m while it is stopping?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 30 m/s

As it stop so final velocity v = 0 m/s

Time t = 2 s

Distance covered = s

We know,

s = 


=> s = 30 m


Q4. A truck accelerates at 1 m / from rest. What is its velocity in m/s at a time of 2 sec?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 0 m/s

final velocity = v 

Time t = 2 s

Acceleration a = 1 m/s​​​​​​2

We know,

v = u + at


=> v = 2 m/s


Q5.

A truck has a velocity of 2 m /s at time t=0. It accelerates at 2 m /  on seeing police .What is its velocity in m/s at a time of 2 sec


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 2 m/s

final velocity = v m/s

Time duration = final time - initial time = 2-0 = 2 s

acceleration a = 2 m/s​​​​​​2

We know,

v = u + at

=> v = 

=> v = 6 m/s


Q6. A truck has a velocity of 3 m /s at time t=0. It accelerates at 3 m / on seeing police .What is its velocity in m/s at a time of 2 sec
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 3 m/s

Acceleration a = 3 m/s​​​​​​2

Initial time 

Final time 

Time taken t = 2-0= 2 s 

Final velocity v = ?

We know,




Q7.

A stone thrown from the top of a building is given an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s straight upward. Determine the time in seconds at which the stone reaches its maximum height. g =9.8 m / 


Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 20.0 m/s

At maximum height it ll stop

So final velocity v = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s​​​​​​2

Time taken to reach maximum height = t

We know

v = u + at

=> 

 [g is taken negative because it is in opposite direction of motion.]


Q8.

A stone thrown from the top of a building is given an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s straight upward. Determine the maximum height it travels in meters. g =9.8 m / 

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 20.0 m/s

At maximum height stone ll  be stopped, 

So final velocity v = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity a = g =

-9.8 m/s​​​​​​2 (-ve Because it is in opposite direction of motion)

Let maximum height = s

We know,


=> 



Q9.

A stone thrown from the top of a building is given an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s straight upward. Determine the velocity in m/sec when the stone returns to the height from which it was thrown. g =9.8 m / 


Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:


we get


As the motion of the stone is downward, and the”+”sign was assigned for the upward motion,

we get for v​​​​​C = −vA= −20 m/s.


Q10.

A stone thrown from the top of a building is given an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s straight upward. The height of the building is 50.0 m. determine the velocity in m/sec when the stone hits the ground. g =9.8 m / 



Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

When the stone ll reach at the same point from where is was thrown it ll have same velocity but with opposite sign. 

So  initial velocity u = -20 m/s

Final velocity before hitting ground = v

Distance covered s = 50 m

Acceleration due to gravity a = 9.8 m/s​​​​​​2

We know






As this velocity is in opposite direction is initial velocity so sign ll be negative.

v = -37.1 m/s
