All questions of Motion in a Straight Line for NEET Exam

A car starts from rest, attains a velocity of 36 km h−1 with an acceleration of 0.2 m s−2, travels 9 km with this uniform velocity and then comes to halt with a uniform deceleration of 0.1 m s−2. The total time of travel of the car is
  • a)
    1050 s
  • b)
    1000 s
  • c)
    950 s
  • d)
    900 s
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
Let the car be accelerated from A to B. It moves with uniform velocity from B to C and then moves with uniform declaration from C to D.
For the motion of car from A to B,

For the motion of car from B to C
S = 9km = 9000m

For the motion of car from C to D,
Total time taken = t+ t+ t3 ;
= 50s + 900s + 100s = 1050s

A particle moving with uniform acceleration has average velocities v1, v2 and v3 over the successive intervals of time t1, t2 and t3 respectively. The value of  will be
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mira Joshi answered
Let u be initial velocity and a be uniform acceleration.

Average velocities in the intervals from 0 to t1, t1 to t2 and t2 to t3 are


Subtract (i) from (ii), we get

Subtract (ii) from (iii), we get

Divide (iv) by (v), we get

For the one dimensional motion, described by x = t - sint
  • a)
    x(t) > 0 for all t > 0
  • b)
    v(t) > 0 for all t > 0
  • c)
    a(t) > 0 for all t > 0
  • d)
    v(t) lies between 0 and 2
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Mira Joshi answered
x = t - sint;
v = dx/dt = 1 - cost;
a = dv/dt = sint
∴ x(t) > 0  for all values of t > 0 and v(t) can be zero for one value of t. a(t) can zero for one value of t.

The area under acceleration-time graph gives
  • a)
    initial velocity
  • b)
    final velocity
  • c)
    change in velocity
  • d)
    distance travelled
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ajay Yadav answered
The vertical axis will represent the acceleration of the object. The slope of the acceleration graph will represent a quantity called the jerk. This jerk is the rate of change of the acceleration. The area under this acceleration graph represents the change in velocity. Also, this area under the acceleration-time graph for some time interval will be the change in velocity during that time interval. Multiplying this acceleration by the time interval will be equivalent to finding the area under the curve.

The velocity-displacement graph of a particle is as shown in the figure. Which of the following graphs correctly represents the variation of acceleration with displacement?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
For the given velocity-displacement graph, intercept = v0 and slope = -v0/x0
Thus, the equation of given line of velocity-displacement graph is
It is a straight line with positive slope and a negative intercept.
The variation of a with x is as shown in the above figure.

Match the column I with column II
  • a)
    A-p, B-q, C-s, D-r
  • b)
    A-q, B-p,C-r,D-s
  • c)
    A-s, B-r, C-q, D-p
  • d)
    A-r, B-q, C-s, D-p
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Tanish Mahajan answered
Let's discuss each graph one by one.
A) we can see that when the graph gets +ve, at the axis the graph returns back to the axis indicating 0 displacement.
B) at the peak of 2nd graph we can see that slope is 0 so velocity and acceleration at that point would be 0.
C) 3rd graph has -ve slope this velocity is also -ve
D) 4th graph has +ve slope so velocity is also +ve
