A train 200 m long passes a pole in 10 s. Time to pass a platform 300 m long is:

Answer: 25 m.

A 15 s
B 20 s
C 25 m
D 30 s

Correct answer: C. 25 m

Explanation: Speed = 200/10 = 20 m/s. To pass platform: total distance = 200+300 = 500 m. Time = 500/20 = 25 s.

Projectile trajectories launched at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 degrees at the same speed, each annotated with range R, maximum height H and time of flight T, with coloured dots marking equal time intervals

Projectiles at equal speed: range is maximum at 45°, and complementary angles (30° and 60°) share the same range. Image: Cmglee, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons.

Concept context

Vectors, projectile motion, uniform circular motion, and relative velocity - the foundation of 2D kinematics for NEET and JEE.
