1.The velocity of a particle varies with time as v=t2-t,where t is time in second.the time  for which the particle will perform retarded motion is
(A) t<1/2
(B) t>1/2
(C) 1/2 <t<1
(D)  0<t<1


2.A ship B is steaming on a straight course south-east at a uniform speed of 15km/hr.Another ship A is at a distance of 10km due north of B and steams at a speed of 12km/hr.The minimum distance between the ships will be:
(A)10 km
(B)9 km
(C)9.9 km
(D)8.8 km

(1)
v = t2-t
dv/dt < 0
2t-1<0
t< 1/2


(2)
Direction of steaming of B is not clearly defined..So I'm solving it taking the dir as south-east just like A ..


The velocity of approach of the ships  = 12cos45o -  15cos45o= -3/ 2

As the velocity of approach is negative, the initial distance would be the minimum distance.!!

Thus, both answers are  option A 

Rate if the answer was right

HOPE IT WAS USEFUL!!

a = dv/dt

a = 2t-1 < 0 (for retarded motion)

so, t < 1/2

ansr 4 1st one....well the cncpt applied by goiit_user were crct...here's d soln
dv/dt<0
dv/dt=2t-1
hence ur ansr is (A)

2t-1 < 0

gives t <1/2 which is A
and not t>1/2  which is B

even  I got (A).but the answer given is (C)...
here's the soln as given...
v=t2-t
acc.=dv/dt=2t-1
velocity reverses its direction at t=1 sec and acceleration reverses its direction at t=1/2 secs.
hence ,when 1/2 <t<1,v is negative and a is positive....

I think that the answer is wrong...plz express ur views


What abt the second question ...anybody plz solve it....
