Figure shows the x-t plot of one-dimensional motion of a particle. Is it correct to say from the graph that the particle moves in a straight line for t<0 and on a parabolic path for t>0? If not, suggest a suitable physical context for this graph.

A police van moving on a highway with a speed of 30 km h-1 fires a bullet at a thief's car speeding away in the same direction with a speed of 192 km h-1. If the muzzle speed of the bullet is 150 m s-1, with what speed does the bullet hit the thief's car ? (Note: Obtain that speed which is required for damaging the thief's car).

Figure gives a speed-time graph of a particle in motion along a constant direction. Three equal intervals of time are shown. In which interval is the average acceleration greatest in magnitude? In which interval is the average speed greatest? Choosing the positive direction as the constant direction of motion, give the signs of v and a in the three intervals. What are the accelerations at the points A, B, C and D?

A three-wheeler starts from rest, accelerates uniformly with 1 m s-2 on a straight road for 10 s, and then moves with uniform velocity. Plot the distance covered by the vehicle during the n th second (n=1,2,3.) versus n. What do you expect this plot to be during accelerated motion: a straight line or a parabola?

A boy standing on a stationary lift (open from above) throws a ball upwards with the maximum initial speed he can, equal to 49 m/s. How much time does the ball take to return to his hands? If the lift starts moving up with a uniform speed of 5 m/s and the boy again throws the ball up with the maximum speed he can, how long does the ball take to return to his hands?

On a long horizontally moving belt (Figure), a child runs to and fro with a speed 9 km h-1 (with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located 50 m apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of 4 km h-1. For an observer on a stationary platform outside, what is the
(a) speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt ?
(b) speed of the child running opposite to the direction of motion of the belt ?
(c) time taken by the child in (a)and (b)?
Which of the answers alter if motion is viewed by one of the parents?
