Q.2 A motor boat of mass m moves along a lake with velocity V0. At t = 0, the engine of the boat is shut
down. Magnitude of resistance force offered to the boat is equal to rV. (V is instantaneous speed). What
dV
is the total distance covererd till it stops completely? [Hnit : F(x) = mV = – rV] [3]
dx
(A) mV0/r (B) 3 mV0/2r (C)mV0/2r (D) 2 mV0/r
Q.3 Two children start at one end of a street, the origin, run to the other end, then head back. On the way
back Joan is ahead of Mike. Which statement is correct about the distances run and the displacements
from the origin ? [3]
(A) Mike has run a greater distance, but his displacement is less than Joan’s
(B) Mike has run a greater distance and his displacement is greater than Joan’s
(C) Joan has run a greater distance, but her displacement is less than Mike’s
(D) Joan has run a greater distance and her displacement is greater than Mike’s
Q.4 Suppose a mouse is 12 cm long. An eagle can see an object provided that the object subtends an angle
greater than 1/60 degree at the eagle’s eye. [6]
(a) What is the maximum height above ground at which an eagle can still see the mouse?
[useful information: 1 rad = (180/)°]
(b) Suppose, on seeing the mouse, the eagle drops like a stone to attack it. How much time has the mouse
got to retreat safely to cover if the eagle sees him at the height calculated in part (a)?
(c) Suppose the mouse can run with a maximum speed of 2 m/s. What is the maximum safe distance it can
venture from it’s hole to avoid capture by eagles. Leave your answers in terns of  & square roots.

A particle travels so that its acceleration is given by a  5 cos t î  3 sin t ĵ . If the particle is located at
(–3, 2) at time t = 0 and is moving with a velocity given by ( 3î  2ˆj) . Find [5]
(a) the velocity at time t and (b) the position vector of the particle at time (t > 0).
Q.7 Tim and Rick both can run at speed vr and walk at speed vw, with vw < vr .They set off together on a
journey of distance D. Rick walks half of the distance and runs the second half. Tim walks half of the time

(d) Find Rick’s average speed for covering the distance D.
(e) How long does it take Tim to cover the distance?
