Question 21: easy

A 100 m long train at 15 m/s overtakes a man running on the platform in the same direction in 10s. How long the train will take to cross the man if he was running in the opposite direction ?

1. 7 s
2. 5 s
3. 3 s
4. 1 s
View Answer

1. Relative Speed (Same Direction):
\[
\text{Speed of Train} = 15 \, \text{m/s}
\]
\[
\text{Time to Overtake} = 10 \, \text{s}
\]
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Length of Train} = 100 \, \text{m}
\]
\[
\text{Relative Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{100}{10} = 10 \, \text{m/s}
\]
\[
\text{Speed of Man} = 15 - 10 = 5 \, \text{m/s}
\]

2. Relative Speed (Opposite Direction):
\[
\text{Relative Speed} = 15 + 5 = 20 \, \text{m/s}
\]

3. Time to Cross Man (Opposite Direction):
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Relative Speed}} = \frac{100}{20} = 5 \, \text{s}
\]

Thus, the train will take 5 seconds to cross the man if he is running in the opposite direction.

Question 22: easy

Which of the following statement is incorrect ?

1. Displacement is independent of the choice of origin of the axis
2. Displacement may or may not be equal to the distance travelled
3. When a particle returns to its starting point, its displacement is not zero
4. Displacement does not tell the nature of the actual motion of a particle between the points
View Answer

When particle comes back to initial position displacement becomes zero.

Question 23: easy

Two cars are moving along a straight line in opposite direction with the same speed 10 m/s. The relative velocity of two cars w.r.t. each other is:

1. 20 m/s
2. 30 m/s
3. zero
4. none of these
View Answer

When objects move in opposite directions relative velocity= v1+ v2= 20 m/s

Question 24: easy

Two objects A and B are moving with speeds 10 m/sĀ  and 20 m/s respectively in the same direction. The relative velocity of A w.r.t. B is

1. 30 m/s
2. 10 m/s
3. - 10 m/s
4. 50 m/s
View Answer

When moving in same direction relative velocity = V 1 -V 2= 10-20 = -10 m/s

Question 25: easy

Two objects A and B are moving with speeds 10 m/s and 20 m/s respectively in the same direction. The relative velocity of B w.r.t. A is

1. 30 m/s
2. 10 m/s
3. - 10 m/s
4. 50 m/s
View Answer

Velocity of A w.r.t B = V A - V B
Velocity of B w.r.t A = V B - V A

Question 26: easy

The relative velocity of two objects A and B is 10 m/s. If the velocity of object A is 40 m/s then the velocity with which B is moving is (assume both objects are moving in same direction)

1. 10 m/s
2. 20 m/s
3. 30 m/s
4. 40 m/s
View Answer

Relative Velocity = V A - V B
10= 40 - V B
V B = 30 m/s

* Is 50 m/s a possible answer ?

Question 27: easy

Two trains A and B are moving in a straight line in the same direction with speeds of 54 km/h and 15 m/s respectively. The relative velocity of one train w.r.t. other is

1. 69 km/hr
2. 69 m/s
3. 39 m/s
4. Zero
View Answer

As, 54 km/hr = 15 m/s both have same velocity in same direction their relative speed/velocity is zero

Question 28: easy

Two objects A and B are moving in same direction with same speed of 20 m/s each then, which of the following position-time graphs correctly represents two moving objects A and B

neet question in 1-d motion

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4
View Answer

As both A and B have same velocity their relative speed is zero. so both have same slope in position time graph.

Question 29: easy

A car travelling with a velocity of 90 km/h slowed down to 54 km/h in 15 s. The retardation is

1. 0.67 m/s²
2. 1 m/s²
3. 1.25 m/s²
4. 1.5 m/s²
View Answer

Using the formula

a=vfāˆ’vita = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

:

Converting to m/s:

9090

km/h =

2525

m/s,

5454

km/h =

1515

m/s.

 

a=15āˆ’2515=āˆ’1015=āˆ’0.67Ā m/s2a = \frac{15 - 25}{15} = \frac{-10}{15} = -0.67 \text{ m/s}^2

 

Retardation = 0.67 m/s².

Question 30: easy

A person driving a car with a speed 54 km/h, suddenly sees a boy crossing the road. If the distance moved by car, before the person applies brakes is 5 m, the reaction time of the person is

1. 0.5 sec
2. 0.66 sec
3. 0.33 sec
4. 1 sec
View Answer

Using

time=svt = \frac{s}{v}

, with

v=54v = 54

km/h = 15 m/s and

s=5s = 5

m:

 

t=515=0.33Ā st = \frac{5}{15} = 0.33 \text{ s}

 

Reaction time = 0.33 s.
