Motion in a Straight Line

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with an initial speed $u$ from a height $h$ above the ground. The ball eventually hits the ground with a speed $v$. The acceleration due to gravity is $g$ and air resistance is negligible. What is the ave...

The velocity $v(t)$ of a particle moving in one dimension is given by:
$$ v(t)= \begin{cases}\alpha t, & 0 \leq t \leq T / 3 \\ \alpha T / 3, & T / 3 \leq t \leq 2 T / 3 \\ \alpha(T-t), & 2 T / 3 \leq t \leq T\end{cases} $$
where $\alpha(\n...

A particle experiences an acceleration $\vec{a}=\alpha \vec{v}$, where $\vec{v}$ is the velocity of the particle and $\alpha$ is a constant. If the distances traveled by the particle in the time intervals $t_2-t_1$ and $t_3-t_1$ are $S_{12}...
