Q.1. The velocity time graph of a body moving in a straight line is shown in figure.
The ratio of displacement to distance travelled by the body in time 0 to 10 s is : [(JEE Main 2023)]
(a) 1: 1
(b) 1: 2
(c) 1: 3
(d) 1: 4
View AnswerCorrect Answer is Option (c)
Solution:
Displacement is calculated as the area under the v-t curve. Since, displacement is a vector quantity, negative displacement will be subtracted from the positive displacement.
Displacement = area (v x t)
= (8 × 2) + (4 × 4) – (2 × 4) – (2 × 4)
= 16 + 16 - 8 - 8
= 32 – 16
= 16 m
Distance, on the hand, is a scalar quantity. So we will add the total area under the v-t graph to obtain the total distance.
Distance =
(8 × 2) + (4 × 4) + (2 × 4) + (2 × 4)= 16 + 16 + 8 + 8
= 48 m
The ratio of displacement to distance is 16:48 = 1:3

Q.3. A juggler throws balls vertically upwards with same initial velocity in air. When the first ball reaches its highest position, he throws the next ball. Assuming the juggler throws n balls per second, the maximum height the balls can reach is [(JEE Main 2022)]
(a) g/2n
(b) g/n
(c) 2gn
(d) g/2n2
View AnswerCorrect Answer is Option (d)
Solution:
The juggler throws n balls per second.
∴ Interval between balls = 1 / n seconds
At maximum height velocity of first ball v = 0
Juggler throws all balls with same initial velocity = u
For 1st ball,
u1 =u, v1 = 0, a = −g, S = Hmax
Using formula,
v2 = u2 + 2as
0 = u2 − 2gHmax
⇒ Hmax = u2 / 2g ...... (1)
And using formula,
v = u + at
⇒ 0 = u −gt
⇒ t = u / g
∴ Time taken by ball 1 to reach maximum height (Hmax) = / g
According to the question,
t = 1n
⇒ u / g = 1/ n
⇒ u = g / n ....... (2)
Putting value of u in equation (1), we get

(b) R1 = R2 and H1 < H2
(c) R1 < R2 and H1 < H2
(d) R1 = R2 and H1 = H2
View AnswerCorrect Answer is Option (b)
Solution:
Here, two projectiles are projected at angles 42∘ and 48∘ with same initial velocity.
As we know the expression of range of projectile,
Range = u2sin2θ / g
AT θ1 = 42∘,
Range, 
At θ2 = 48∘
Range, 
The range of the projectile is same for the two projectiles.
Therefore, R1 = R2
Now, as we know the expression of height of the projectile,
Higher the value of θ higher the value of maximum height. Therefore, H1 < H2.

(a) 11/5
(b) 5/2
(c) 3/2
(d) 25/11
View AnswerCorrect Answer is Option (a)
Solution:
Let passenger train and freight train be A and B and vA is the velocity of passenger train and vB is the velocity of freight train B.
Relative velocity of A with respect to B is (same direction)
Time taken by the train A to cross the train B
Train moving in opposite direction
Therefore, required ratio is

Solution:
Equation for velocity of the particle is
Thus,
Now,
Integrating both the sides, we get
y2 = x2 + constant
