Answer: a
Explanation:
q82

3. Acceleration of a particle changes when
a) Direction of velocity changes
b) Magnitude of velocity changes
c) Both of above
d) Speed changes

Answer: c
Explanation: Because acceleration is a vector quantity

c) 6a
d) 8a

Answer: d
Explanation:
q84

5. The relation \[3t=\sqrt{3x}+6\]   describes the displacement of a particle in one direction where x is in metres and t in sec. The displacement, when velocity is zero, is
a) 24 metres

a) 3N
b) 3.5N
c) 4.0N
d) 4.5N

Answer: d
Explanation:
q86

7. The average velocity of a body moving with uniform acceleration travelling a distance of 3.06 m is \[0.34 ms^{-1} \]. If the change in velocity of the body is \[0.18 ms^{-1} \] during this time, its uniform acceleration is
a) \[0.01 ms^{-2} \]
b) \[0.02 ms^{-2} \]
c) \[0.03 ms^{-2} \]
d) \[0.04 ms^{-2} \]

Answer: b
Explanation:
q87

8. Equation of displacement for any particle is \[s=3t^{3} +7t^{2}+14t+8m\]     . Its acceleration at time \[t=1\] sec is
a) \[10 m\diagup s^{2}\]
b) \[16 m\diagup s^{2}\]
c) \[25 m\diagup s^{2}\]
d) \[32 m\diagup s^{2}\]

9. Consider the acceleration, velocity and displacement of a tennis ball as it falls to the ground and bounces back. Directions of which of these changes in the process
a) Velocity only
b) Displacement and velocity
c) Acceleration, velocity and displacement
d) Displacement and acceleration

Answer: b
Explanation: Only direction of displacement and velocity gets changed, acceleration is always directed vertically downward.

10. The displacement of a particle, moving in a straight line, is given by \[S=2t^{2} +2t+4\]  where s is in metres and t in seconds. The acceleration of
a) \[2 m\diagup s^{2}\]
b) \[4 m\diagup s^{2}\]
c) \[6 m\diagup s^{2}\]
d) \[8 m\diagup s^{2}\]

Answer: b
