A man walks to a viewpoint and returns to the starting point by his car maintaining constant speed and thus takes a total time of 9 hours 15 minutes. He would have gained 2 hours by driving both ways. How long would it have taken for him to walk both ways with same walking speed?
If the distance between A and B is 530 Km. From A, Namit goes to B with speed 37 km/h and return to A with the speed 77 km/h. Find the average speed of Namit.(rounded off to two decimal place)
A man walks to a viewpoint and returns to the starting point by his car maintaining constant speed and thus takes a total time of 6 hours 45 minutes. He would have gained 2 hours by driving both ways. How long would it have taken for him to walk both ways with same walking speed?
If the distance between A and B is 1089 Km. From A, Vishal goes to B with speed 104 km/h and return to A with the speed 125 km/h. Find the average speed of Vishal. (rounded off to two decimal place)
If the distance between A and B is 1253 Km. From A, Chaman goes to B with speed 93 km/h and return to A with the speed 95 km/h. Find the average speed of Chaman. (rounded off to two decimal place)
The National Health Authority (NHA) and _________ signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) on 11th September. The partnership aims to revolutionise artificial intelligence in health research with an innovative data platform.
A man walks to a viewpoint and returns to the starting point by his car maintaining constant speed and thus takes a total time of 3 hours 15 minutes. He would have gained 3 hours by driving both ways. How long would it have taken for him to walk both ways with same walking speed?
A student claims that two cars of equal mass, one moving at 40 km/h and another at 80
km/h, have the same kinetic energy if their engines provide the same power. What is the
error in this reasoning?
AThe cars have equal energy if the engines are identical.
BKinetic energy depends on the square of speed, not just on power supplied.
CPower supplied determines energy, regardless of speed.
DBoth cars have equal kinetic energy since both cover the same distance.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (B) Kinetic energy depends on the square of speed, not just on power supplied.
If a body at rest is dropped from a certain height and takes 4 seconds to reach the
ground, what is the approximate height from which it was dropped? (Take g = 10 m/s²)
P gives Q a head-start of 10 seconds in a 600 m race, but both finish the race at the
same time. Find the time taken by P to finish the race if the speed of Q is 4 m/sec.
Suppose a student wants to design an amusement park ride that moves people in a
circle at uniform speed. Which concept should the student apply to ensure riders stay
safely in their seats during the circular motion?
AIncreasing speed randomly will keep them safe
BGravity alone is sufficient to keep the riders in place
CA constant outward force is needed to keep riders pressed against their seats
DA constant inward (centripetal) force is needed on the riders to keep them in uniform circular motion
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (D) A constant inward (centripetal) force is needed on the riders to keep them in uniform circular motion
If Chandu covers 285 km in a boat in 45 hours against the stream while he takes 18
hours to cover the same distance downstream, then find the speed of the stream.
A car travels 120 meters north in 10 seconds and then instantly returns to its original
position in the next 10 seconds. Which statement best describes the car's average
velocity for the entire trip?
AThe average velocity is zero because the displacement is zero.
BThe average velocity is 6 m/s because the total distance is 240 m in 20 seconds.
CThe average velocity is 12 m/s because the car covered 120 m in 10 seconds.
DThe average velocity is 12 m/s because the total time is 10 seconds.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (A) The average velocity is zero because the displacement is zero.
If two cars start at the same point and move along a straight road, Car X at a constant
speed of 40 km/h and Car Y at a constant speed of 60 km/h, which statement correctly
compares their motions after 2 hours?
ACar Y will be 20 km ahead of Car X after 2 hours.
BCar Y will be 40 km ahead of Car X after 2 hours.
CCar X will be 40 km ahead of Car Y after 2 hours.
DBoth cars will have traveled the same distance after 2 hours.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (B) Car Y will be 40 km ahead of Car X after 2 hours.
In covering a distance of 130 km, Amit takes 4 hours more than Vinay. If Amit doubles
his speed, then he would take 9 hour less than Vinay. Amit's original speed is:
