A 50 m long train passes over a bridge at a speed of 30 km/h. If it takes 36 seconds to cross the bridge, calculate the length of the bridge.

उत्तर
Speed of train = 30 km/hr.
Speed in m/s = ( 30 X1000 )/3600 = 50/6 m/s.
Length of train = 50 m.
Let the length of the bridge be s metre.
The train has to cover a total distance of 50 +s to cross that bridge.
Time taken by train to cover this distance = 36 sec.
So as time taken = total distance /total time taken.
36 = ( 50 +s ) X 6/ 50.
1800 = 300 + 6s
6s = 1500.
S = 1500/6 = 250m
Length of bridge is 250 m.

An object is thrown vertically upwards. It rises upto a height H and then returns to its initial position. Calculate
The total distance traveled by the object
State whether true or false. If false, correct the statement.
Distance covered by a particle never becomes zero but displacement becomes zero.
Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason: The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.
Give some examples for vector quantity.
A car starts from rest and moves along the x-axis with constant acceleration 5 ms–2 for 8 seconds. If it then continues with constant velocity, what distance will the car cover in 12 seconds since it started from the rest?
Assertion: If the displacement of the body is zero, the distance covered by it may not be zero.
Reason: Displacement is a vector & distance is a scalar quantity.
