Give example where  the velocity of a particle is zero but its acceleration is not zero.

Give example where the velocity is opposite in direction to the acceleration.

Give example where the velocity is perpendicular to the acceleration.

 In figure shows the x coordinate of a particle as a function of time. Find the sings of v_x and a_x at t = t₁, t = t₂ and t = t₃.

A stone is released from an elevator going up with an acceleration a. The acceleration of the stone after the release is 

The length and the radius of a cylinder measured with a slide callipers are found to be 4.54 cm and 1.75 cm respectively. Calculate the volume of the cylinder.

The length of the string of a simple pendulum is measured with a metre scale to be 90.0 cm. The radius of the bod plus the length of the hook is calculated to be 2.13 cm using measurements with a slide callipers. What is the effective length of the pendulum? (The effective length is defined as the distance between the point of suspension and the centre of the bob.)

The accelerations of a particle as seen from two frames S₁ and S₂ have equal magnitude 4 m/s².

If the radius of the earth decreases by 1% without changing its mass, will the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the earth increase or decrease? If so, by what per cent?

The moon rotates about the earth in such a way that only one hemisphere of the moon faces the earth (see the following figure). Can we ever see the "other face" of the moon from the earth? Can a person on the moon ever see all the faces of the earth?

A sphere rolls on a horizontal surface. If there any point of the sphere which has a vertical velocity?

A body is in pure rotation. The linear speed \[\nu\] of a particle, the distance r of the particle from the axis and the angular velocity \[\omega\] of the body are related as \[\omega = \frac{\nu}{r}.\] Thus

The following figure shows a small wheel fixed coaxially on a bigger one of double the radius. The system rotates about the common axis. The strings supporting A and B do not slip on the wheels. If x and y be the distance travelled by A and B in the same time interval, then _________ .

The angular velocity of the engine (and hence of the wheel) of a scooter is proportional to the petrol input per second. The scooter is moving on a frictionless road with uniform velocity. If the petrol input is increased by 10%, the linear velocity of the scooter is increased by ___________ .

A sphere is rolled on a rough horizontal surface. If gradually slows down and stops. The force of friction tries to

(a) decrease the linear velocity

(b) increase the angular velocity

(c) increase the linear momentum

(d) decrease the angular velocity.

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 10 cm. At what distance from the mean position are the kinetic and potential energies equal?

Find the angular velocity of a body rotating with an acceleration of 2 rev/s² as it completes the 5th revolution after the start.
