A cyclist is riding with a speed of 27 km/h. As he approaches a circular turn on the road of radius 80 m, he applies brakes and reduces his speed at the constant rate of 0.50 m/s every second. What is the magnitude and direction of the' net acceleration of the cyclist on the circular turn?

A cyclist is with a speed of8m/s. As he approaches a circular trun on road of radius 80m, he applies break and the speed is reduced at the rate of 0.5 m/s every second. What is the magnitude and direction of net acceleration of the cyclist on the turn?

A constant force acting on a body of mass 3.0 kg changes its speed from 2.0 m s^-1 to 3.5 m s^-1 in 25 s. The direction of the motion of the body remains unchanged. What is the magnitude and direction of the force?

Two towns A and B are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T minutes. A man cycling with a speed of 20 km h~1 in the direction A to B notices that a bus goes past him every 18 min in the direction of his motion, and every 6 min in the opposite direction. What is the period T of the bus service and with what speed - (assumed constant) do the buses ply on the road?

A car is travelling at a speed of 90 km/h. Brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of – 0.5 m/s2. Find how far the car will go before it is brought to rest?

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 magnitude of average velocity.

A train runs along an unbanked circular track of radius 30 m at a speed of 54 km/h. The mass of the train is 106 kg. What provides the centripetal force required for this purpose - The engine or the rails? What is the angle of banking required to prevent- wearing out of the rail?

A driver of a car travelling at 52 km h^-1 applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5 s. Another driver going at 3 km h^-1 in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10 s. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelle farther after the brakes were applied?

Give the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on a stone of mass 0.1 kg, (a) just after it is dropped from the window of a stationary train,(b) just after it is dropped from the window of a train running at a constant velocity of 36 km/h,just after it is dropped from the window of a train accelerating with 1 ms^2,just after it is dropped from the window of a train accelerating with 1M/S2

A cyclist starts from the centre Oof a circular park of radius 1 km, reaches the edge Pof the park, then cycles along the circumference, and returns to the centre along QO as shown in Fig. 4.21. If the round trip takes 10 min, what is the (a) net displacement, (b) average velocity, and (c) average speed of the cyclist?

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 average speed of the man over the interval of time (i) 0 to 30 min, (ii) 0 to 50 min, (Hi) 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!]
