Derivation of second equation of motion is:

  1. $d\theta= w d2t$

  2. $d\theta= w dt$

  3. $d\theta= w d3t$

  4. $d\theta= w dt^{2}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$S= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$
$\theta = w _0t +\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$
$w= \frac{d\theta}{dt}$
$d\theta= w dt$

The distance $x$ covered in time $t$ by a body having initial velocity ${ v } _{ 0 }$ and having constant acceleration $a$ is given by $x={ v } _{ 0 }t+1/2a{ t }^{ 2 }$. This result follows from :

  1. newton's Ist law

  2. newton's IInd law

  3. newton's IIIrd law

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The given equation is the fundamental equation of kinematics. So it can not follow from any Newton's law of motion.
Ans:(D)

A ladder of length 10 m and mass 20 kg (and with uniform mass distribution) leans against a slippery vertical wall. The ladder makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with respect to the vertical. Friction between the ladder and the ground prevents it from sliding downwards. What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the ladder by the wall?

  1. $0 N$

Correct Option: C

For a body moving with an initial velocity $u$ and uniform acceleration $a$. Find the displacement of the body in time t.

  1. $s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

  2. $s=u+at$

  3. $s=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

  4. $s=ut+at^2$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

From the second equation of motion, if u = initial velocity , a= acceleration and t= time then

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

How is the distance related with time for the motion under uniform acceleration such as the motion of a freely falling body starting from rest?

  1. $S \propto t^2$

  2. $S \propto t$

  3. $S \propto \dfrac{1}{t^2}$

  4. $S \propto \dfrac{1}{t}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

For a free falling body, initial velocity, $u = 0 m/s $ and acceleration due to gravity, $a = g$.
Putting the values of $u$ and $a$ in the equation of motion, $S = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2 $
We get, $S = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$
Therefore, $S \propto t^2$

The correct equation of motion is :

  1. $v=u+aS$

  2. $v=ut+a$

  3. $S= ut +\frac{1}{2} at$

  4. $v = u + at$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Three equations of motion are as follows:

$v=u+at$

$S = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$v^2 = u^2+2aS$

In the equation of motion, $S = ut + 1/2 at^2$, S stands for

  1. displacement in t seconds

  2. maximum height reached

  3. displacement in the $t^{th}$ second

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$ S=ut+\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } a{ t }^{ 2 }$

where 
S= Distance traveled in the t seconds
u= Initial velocity of the motion 
a= acceleration or retardation of the motion 

Gradient of line of displacement-time graph gives the :

  1. acceleration

  2. velocity

  3. displacement

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Slope of line of displacement time graph$=\cfrac { ds }{ dt } $
The rate of change of position i.e., rate of change of displacement with time is called velocity

Gradient of line of velocity-time graph gives :

  1. distance

  2. time

  3. velocity

  4. acceleration


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Gradient of line is basically a slope of line
Slope$=\cfrac { \triangle y }{ \triangle x } $
Here, Slope $=\cfrac { d\upsilon  }{ dt } $
As we all know acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time
$\therefore $ acceleration $=\cfrac { d\upsilon  }{ dt } $
