3.14 A man walks on a straight road from his home to a market 2.5 km away with a speed of 5 km h^–1. Finding the market closed, he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of 7.5 km h^–1.

What is the

(a) Magnitude of average velocity, and

(b) Average speed of the man over the interval of time

(i) 0 to 30 min,

(ii) 0 to 50 min,

(iii) 0 to 40 min?

[Note: You will appreciate from this exercise why it is better to define average speed as total path length divided by time, and not as magnitude of average velocity. You would not like to tell the tired man on his return home that his average speed was zero !]

Two trains 101 m and 99 m in length are running in opposite direction with velocities 54 km/h and 36 km/h. In what time they will completely cross each other?

Distance travelled by a particle starting form rest and moving with an acceleration of 4/3ms^-2 in the second is

Match List – I with List – II :

List – I                                                                               List – II

(a) h (Planck’s constant)                                               (i) $\left[ML{T}^{-1}\right]$  

(b) E (kinetic energy)                                                     (ii) $\left[M{L}^2{T}^{-1}\right]$        

(c) V (electric potential)                                                (iii) $\left[M{L}^2{T}^{-2}\right]$  

(d) P (linear momentum)                                             (iv) $\left[M{L}^2{I}^{-1}{T}^{-3}\right]$  

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A small toy starts moving from the position of rest under a constant acceleration. If it travels a distance of 10m in t s, the distance travelled by the toy in the next t s will be:

A vehicle travels half the distance with speed  $\mathrm{v}$ and the remaining distance with speed $2\mathrm{v}$ . Its average speed is:
