    (a) A lives closer to the school than B ( OP

     

    (b) A starts earlier than B from school. From the graph, A starts from O at time 0 whereas B starts after some finite value t

     

    (c) B walks faster than as the slope for B is steeper than A

     

    (d) Both B and A reaches home at the same time

     

    (e) At the intersection of the two lines, it is evident that B overtakes A once

According to question, we can write

 10 = 1 2 a t 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( 1 ) a n d                        

1 0 + x = 1 2 a ( 2 t ) 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( 2 )  

X = 1 2 A [ ( 2 t ) 2 t 2 ] = 3 ( 1 2 a t 2 ) = 3 0 m

Average speed = 4 v 2 3 v

= 4 v 3

(d) Initial velocity  = - v j ˆ

Final velocity = v i ˆ

Change in velocity  = v i ˆ - ( - v j ˆ )

= v ( i ˆ + j ˆ ) Momentum gain is along i ˆ + j ˆ

 Force experienced is along i ˆ + j ˆ

  Force experienced is in North-East direction.
