d) The speed can't be determined with the given data.

Answer: c
Explanation: Both the stones will have the same speed when they hit the ground

b) \[V_{0}t+\frac{1}{3}bt^{3}\]
c) \[V_{0}t+\frac{1}{6}bt^{3}\]

9. The motion of a body is given by the equation \[\frac{dv\left(t\right)}{dt}=6.0 -3v\left(t\right)\]     . where \[v\left(t\right)\] is speed in m / s and t in sec . If body was at rest at \[t=0\]
a) The terminal speed is \[2.0m\diagup s\]
b) The speed varies with the time as \[v\left(t\right)=2\left(1-e^{-3t}\right)m\diagup s\]
c) The magnitude of the initial acceleration is \[6.0m\diagup s^{2}\]
d) All of the above

Answer: d
Explanation:
q199a
q199b

10. A particle of mass m moves on the x-axis as follows : it starts from rest at \[t=0\]   from the point \[x=0\]   and comes to rest at \[t=1\] at the point \[x=1\] . No other information is available about its motion at intermediate time \[\left(0<t<1\right)\] . If \[\alpha\] denotes the instantaneous acceleration of the particle, then
a) \[\alpha\] cannot remain positive for all t in the interval \[0 \leq t\leq 1\]
b) \[\alpha\] must change sign during the motion but no other assertion can be made with the information given
c) |\[\alpha\]| must be \[\geq 4\] at some point or points in its path
d) Both a and b

Answer: d
Explanation: The body starts from rest at x = 0 and then again comes to rest at x = 1 . It means initially acceleration is positive and then negative.
So we can conclude that \[\alpha\] can not remains positive for all t in the interval 0 \[\leq\] t \[\leq\] 1 i.e. \[\alpha\] must change sign during the motion.
