Linear Motion Physics

An object starts its linear motion from rest. Which of the following quantities does not change throughout the motion?

• Time
• Initial velocity 
• Final velocity
• 1qAcceleration

When one object is travelling with a constant velocity, its acceleration will be 

• decreasing
• increasing
• constant
• zero

An aeroplance is flying with decreasing acceleration, hence its velocity is 

• increasing 
• decreasing
• constant

A student starts cycling from rest and reaches a speed of 12 m s^-1 in 6 seconds. The distance travelled by him is

• 18 m
• 36 m
• 54 m
• 72 m
