Question 1 of 3 JEE Main 2024 (Online) 27th Jan Shift-1
A particle moves along a straight line such that its displacement x at time t is given by x = 2t³ - 9t² + 12t + 5. The velocity of the particle when its acceleration is zero is:
(A) -1.5 m/s
(B) 1.5 m/s
(C) -3 m/s
(D) 3 m/s
💡 View Step-by-Step Solution & Answer

Correct Answer: -1.5 m/s

  1. Step 1: Velocity is v = dx/dt = 6t² - 18t + 12.
  2. Step 2: Acceleration is a = dv/dt = 12t - 18.
  3. Step 3: Set acceleration to zero: 12t - 18 = 0 ⇒ 12t = 18 ⇒ t = 1.5 s.
  4. Step 4: Substitute t = 1.5 into velocity: v = 6(1.5)² - 18(1.5) + 12 = 6(2.25) - 27 + 12 = 13.5 - 27 + 12 = -1.5 m/s.

⚡ Speed Tip: Differentiate twice: a = 12t - 18 = 0 gives t = 1.5 s. Plug into v(t) to get -1.5 m/s.

Question 2 of 3 JEE Main 2023 (Online) 24th Jan Shift-1
A projectile is thrown with an initial velocity u at an angle θ with the horizontal. If the maximum height equals its horizontal range, then tan θ is equal to:
(A) 4
(B) 2
(C) 1/4
(D) 1
💡 View Step-by-Step Solution & Answer

Correct Answer: 4

  1. Step 1: Formula for maximum height: H = (u² sin² θ) / (2g).
  2. Step 2: Formula for horizontal range: R = (u² sin 2θ) / g = (2u² sin θ cos θ) / g.
  3. Step 3: Given H = R ⇒ (u² sin² θ) / (2g) = (2u² sin θ cos θ) / g.
  4. Step 4: Cancel u²/g and sin θ: sin θ / 2 = 2 cos θ ⇒ sin θ / cos θ = 4 ⇒ tan θ = 4.

⚡ Speed Tip: Standard Projectile Relation: R = 4H cot θ ⇒ When R = H, tan θ = 4 directly.

Question 3 of 3 JEE Main 2024 (Online) 29th Jan Shift-1
A ball dropped from a height of 80 m onto the ground bounces back to a height of 45 m. The coefficient of restitution e is:
(A) 3/4
(B) 9/16
(C) 1/2
(D) √3/2
💡 View Step-by-Step Solution & Answer

Correct Answer: 3/4

  1. Step 1: Height after nth bounce is h_n = e^(2n) · h₀. For the first bounce, h₁ = e² h₀.
  2. Step 2: Here h₀ = 80 m and h₁ = 45 m.
  3. Step 3: e² = h₁ / h₀ = 45 / 80 = 9 / 16.
  4. Step 4: Take the square root: e = √(9/16) = 3/4.

⚡ Speed Tip: Bounce Height Formula: e = √(h₁ / h₀) = √(45/80) = √(9/16) = 3/4.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the relation between Maximum Range and Maximum Height?

At θ = 45°, Range is maximum R_max = u²/g and H = u²/(4g) = R_max / 4.
