A car accelerates from 10m/s at 1.5m/s2 for 6s, then moves at constant speed for 4s. What is the average speed over the

Phase 1: v=10+1.5⋅6=19m/s, x1=10⋅6+12⋅1.5⋅(6)2=60+27=87m. 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 17 m/s as the result, so option B is correct.

A cyclist moves at a constant speed of 12m/s for 30s. What is the distance covered?

For constant speed, distance x=vt. 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 360 m as the result, so option D 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 rocket accelerates from rest at 6m/s2 for 5s, then moves at constant speed for 3s. What is the total distance covered?

Phase 1: v=6⋅5=30m/s, x1=12⋅6⋅(5)2=75m. 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 165 m as the result, so option D is correct.
