A particle moves with an initial velocity and retardation , where, is its velocity at any time and is a positive constant. Then,


Important Questions on Kinematics
Acceleration versus velocity graph of a particle moving in a straight line starting from rest is as shown in the figure. The corresponding velocity-time graph would be





Two trains, which are moving along different tracks in opposite directions towards each other, are put on the same track due to a mistake. Their drivers, on noticing the mistake, start slowing down the trains when the trains are apart. Graphs given below show their velocities as a function of time as the trains slow down. What is the separation between the trains (in metre) when both have stopped?

A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate for some time, after which it decelerates at a constant rate and comes to rest. If the total time elapsed is , then the maximum velocity acquired by the car is
