Two particles of masses 3kg and 7kg are at (1,4) and (9,2) respectively. What is the distance of their center of mass fr

X = (3×1)+(7×9)3+7 = 3+6310 = 6.6. Y = (3×4)+(7×2)3+7 = 12+1410 = 2.6. Distance = (6.6)2+(2.6)2 = 43.56+6.76 = 50.32≈7.09m. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 7.09 m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.

Two particles of masses 8kg and 2kg are at (0,5) and (10,0) respectively. What is the distance of their center of mass f

X = (8×0)+(2×10)8+2 = 2010 = 2. Y = (8×5)+(2×0)8+2 = 4010 = 4. Distance = (2)2+(4)2 = 4+16 = 20≈4.47m. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 4.47 m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.

A body accelerates uniformly from rest to a velocity of 20m/s over a distance of 50m. What is the acceleration?

Use v2=v02+2ax. Here, v0=0, v=20m/s, x=50m. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 4 m/s² as the result, so option C is correct.

A particle moves at 18m/s and decelerates at 4m/s2 for 2s, then accelerates at 3m/s2 until its speed is 18m/s. What is t

Phase 1: v=18−4⋅2=10m/s, x1=18⋅2−12⋅4⋅(2)2=36−8=28m. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 65 m as the result, so option A is correct.

A person walks 10m in 2s and returns to the starting point in 2s. What is the average speed?

Average speed = total distance / total time. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 0 m/s as the result, so option A is correct.

A train moves with a constant speed of 108km/h for 2min. What is the distance traveled?

Convert speed: 108km/h=108⋅10003600=30m/s. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 30 m/s as the result, so option A is correct.

A body moving at 15m/s decelerates uniformly to rest in 5s. What is the distance covered?

Find a=v−v0t=0−155=−3m/s2. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 25 m as the result, so option A is correct.
