Statement I : Two objects moving with velocities and in the opposite directions, have their relative velocity along the direction of the one with a larger velocity.
Statement II : The relative velocity between two bodies moving with velocity and in same direction is given by
Statement II : The relative velocity between two bodies moving with velocity and in same direction is given by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement I is false, Statement II is true
Statement I is false, Statement II is true. Statement I is incorrect because the relative velocity's direction depends on the vector difference, not just the larger velocity. Statement II correctly defines relative velocity.

A train is moving slowly on a straight track with a constant speed of . A passenger in that train starts walking at a steady speed of to the back of the train in the opposite direction of the motion of the train. So, to an observer standing on the platform directly in front of that passenger, the velocity of the passenger appears to be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
0
Option A (0) is correct because the passenger's velocity relative to the platform is the train's velocity minus the passenger's walking velocity, resulting in zero.

A police jeep is chasing a culprit going on a motor bike. The motor bike crosses a turning at a speed of 72 km/h. The jeep follows it a speed of 90 km/h crossing the turning ten seconds later than the bike. Assuming that they travel at constant speeds, how far from the turning will the jeep catch up with the bike? (in km)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
1
Option A (1 km) is correct because it is calculated by equating the distances traveled by the jeep and the bike from the turning point.

If distance covered by a particle is zero, what can you say about its displacement?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
It must be zero
Option D (It must be zero) is correct because displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final points, and if the total distance covered is zero, the object hasn't moved, meaning the displacement is also zero.

Assertion (A): Speed of a particle may decrease, even if acceleration is increasing.
Reason (R): This will happen if acceleration is positive.
Reason (R): This will happen if acceleration is positive.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
Option C (If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false) is correct. The speed of a particle can decrease even if the acceleration is increasing, but this occurs when the acceleration is in the opposite direction to the velocity, not necessarily when acceleration is positive.
