A particle moves along x-axis in a positive direction. Its acceleration a is given as a=cx+d, where x denotes the x-coordinate of particle, c and d are positive constants. For velocity-position graph of particle to be of type as shown in figure, find the value of speed (in m s-1) of particle at x=0. Take c=1 s-2 and d=3 m s-2

A man can swim in still water with a speed of 3 m s-1x and y-axes are drawn along and normal to the bank of river flowing to right with a speed of 1 m s-1. The man starts swimming from origin at t=0 second. Assume the size of the man to be negligible. Find the equation of locus of all the possible points where the man can reach at t=1 sec.

Two swimmers A and B, one located on one side and other on the another side of a river, are situated at a distance D from each other. The line joining them is making an angle θ with the direction perpendicular to the flow. The speed of each swimmer with respect to still water is u and speed of river flow is vr. Both A and B start swimming at the same time in the direction parallel to line AB towards each other and they keep on swimming in the same direction. Then,

(a) Find the time after which they meet.
(b) Find the speed of river (vr) so that the path of the two swimmers with respect to the ground becomes perpendicular to each other.

Two particles start simultaneously from the same point and move along two straight lines making an angle α with each other. One move with uniform velocity u and the other with constant acceleration a and initial velocity zero.

A train of length l=350 m starts moving rectilinearly with constant acceleration, ω=3.0×10-2 m s-2t=30 s. After start, the locomotive headlight is switched on (event 1 ) and at τ=60 s, after that event, the train signal light is switched on (event 2). Find the distance between these events in the reference frames fixed to the train and to the earth. How and at what constant velocity Vrelative to the earth must a certain reference frame K move for the two events to occur in it at the same point?

A man starts swimming at time t=0 from point A on the ground and he wants to reach the point B directly opposite to the point A. His velocity in still water is 5 m s-1 and the width of river is 48 m. The river flowing with velocity u varies with time t (in seconds) as, u=t2 m s-1. He always tries to swim in a particular fixed direction with river flow. Find the (given, sin-12425=74°),

A child in danger of drowning in a river is being carried downstream by a current that flows uniformly at a speed of 163 m s-1. The child is 600 m from shore and 800 m downstream of a helipad when the rescue helicopter sets out and the helicopter follows the same direction throughout the motion. The helicopter proceeds at its maximum speed of 803 m s-1 with respect to air while air is blowing with a velocity of 4 m s-1 perpendicular to the river with water flowing velocity as shown. Then,
(i) heading at what angle with the shore should the helicopter take off?
(ii) calculate the time taken by the helicopter to reach the child.

A boy sitting at the rear end of a railway compartment of a train, running at a constant acceleration on horizontal rails, throws a ball towards the fore end of the compartment with a muzzle velocity of 20 m s-1 at an angle 37° above the horizontal when the train is running at a speed of 10 m s-1. If the same boy catches the ball without moving from his seat and at the same height of projection, find the speed of the train at the instant of his catching the ball g=10 m s-2, sin37°=35.
