6. The displacement of a particle starting from rest (at t=0) is given by \[S=6t^{2}-t^{3}\]  . The time in seconds at which the particle will attain zero velocity again, is
a) 2
b) 4
c) 6
d) 8

b) \[S=\left(u+f\right)t\]
c) \[S=v^{2}-2fs\]
d) none of these

8. Two cars A and B at rest at same point initially. If A starts with uniform velocity of 40 m/sec and B starts in the same direction with constant acceleration of \[4 m\diagup s^{2}\] , then B will catch A after how much time
a) 10 sec
b) 20 sec
c) 30 sec
d) 35 sec

Explanation:
q78

9. A body travels for 15 sec starting from rest with constant acceleration. If it travels distances S1, S2 and S3 in the first five seconds, second five seconds and next five seconds respectively the relation between S1, S2 and S3 is
a) \[S_{1}=S_{2} = S_{3}\]
b) \[5S_{1}=3S_{2} = S_{3}\]
c) \[S_{1}=\frac{1}{3}S_{2} =\frac{1}{5} S_{3}\]
d) \[S_{1}=\frac{1}{5}S_{2} =\frac{1}{3} S_{3}\]

Answer: c
Explanation: If the body starts from rest and moves with constant acceleration then the ratio of distances in consecutive equal time interval S1 : S2 : S3 = 1 : 3 : 5
