Q. A train is moving along a straight line with a constant acceleration ‘a’. A boy standing in the train throws a ball forward with a speed of 10 m/s, at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the horizontal. The boy has to move forward by 1.15 m inside the train to catch the ball back at the initial height. The acceleration of the train, in $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$, is [IIT-JEE 2011]
Ans. 5
Q. A rocket is moving in a gravity free space with a constant acceleration of 2 $\mathrm{ms}^{-2}$ along + x direction (see figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is 4m. A ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in + x direction with a speed of 0.3 $\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ relative to the rocket. At the same time, another ball is thrown in –x direction with a speed of 0.2 $\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is [JEE Advanced 2014]
Ans. 8 or 2 Assuming open chamber $\mathrm{V}_{\text {relative }}=0.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ $\mathrm{S}_{\text {relative }}=4 \mathrm{m}$ time $=\frac{4}{0.5}=8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ Alternate Assuming closed chamber In the frame of chamber : Maximum displacement of ball A from its left end is $\frac{\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{A}}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{a}}=\frac{(0.3)^{2}}{2(2)}=0.0225 \mathrm{m}$ This is negligible with respect to the length of chamber i.e. 4m. So, the collision will be verym close to the left end. Hence, time taken by ball B to reach left end will be given by $\mathrm{S}=\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{t}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{at}^{2}$ $4=(0.2)(\mathrm{t})+\frac{1}{2}(2)(\mathrm{t})^{2}$ Solving this, we get $\mathrm{t} \approx 2 \mathrm{s}$
Q. Airplanes A and B are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the horizontal respectively as shown in figure. The speed of A is $\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$. At time t = 0 s, an observer in A finds B at a distance of 500 m. This observer sees B moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of A. If at t = $\mathrm{t}_{0}$, A just escapes being hit by B, $\mathrm{t}_{0}$ in seconds is [JEE Advanced-2014]
Ans. 5 As observed from A, B moves perpendicular to line of motion of A. It means velocity of B along A is equal to velocity of A $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}} \cos 30=100 \sqrt{3}$ $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}}=200$ If A is observer A remains stationary therefore $\mathrm{t}=\frac{500}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}} \sin 30}=\frac{500}{100}=5$
Q. Consider an expanding sphere of instantaneous radius R whose total mass remains constant. The expansion is that the instantaneous density $\rho$ remains uniform throughout the volume. the rate of fractional change in density is $\left(\frac{1}{\rho} \frac{d \rho}{d t}\right)$ constant. the velocity v of any point on the surface of the expanding sphere is proportional to (A) $R^{3}$ (B) $\frac{1}{R}$ (C) $\mathrm{R}$ (D) $R^{2 / 3}$ [JEE Advanced-2017]
Ans. (C)

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions.

What is the weightage of Kinematics in the JEE Advanced syllabus?

According to the official JEE Advanced syllabus (Joint Admission Board), Kinematics falls under General Physics / Mechanics. While no fixed percentage weightage is announced, Mechanics as a whole contributes roughly 30–35% of Physics marks across both papers. Kinematics, including both 1D and 2D, is a foundation topic for all of Mechanics.

Is Kinematics 1D harder in JEE Advanced than JEE Main?

Yes, significantly harder. JEE Main tests direct formula application with clean numbers. JEE Advanced always adds a layer — a non-inertial frame, a calculus-based relationship, or a constraint that links two objects' motions. The same concepts are tested but at a fundamentally deeper problem-solving level.

How many questions from Kinematics 1D appear in JEE Advanced each year?

Kinematics 1D typically contributes 1–2 questions per year in JEE Advanced. It is not always a standalone question — sometimes kinematics concepts appear embedded inside mechanics problems involving Newton's Laws or Work-Energy. Over the last 10 years, it has appeared as a direct question in approximately 6 out of 10 papers.

Where can I find more JEE Advanced Physics previous year questions?

eSaral provides chapter-wise and topic-wise JEE Advanced previous year questions across all Physics topics on its website and app. You can also supplement with NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Physics and Class 12 Physics for concept-level practice before attempting advanced questions.

Can I skip Kinematics 1D and focus on other Physics topics for JEE Advanced?

Skipping Kinematics 1D is a high-risk strategy. It is a prerequisite concept for Projectile Motion, Circular Motion, Newton's Laws, and even Rotational Dynamics. Weak kinematics fundamentals will create compounding errors in every mechanics topic that follows. 30–60 minutes of focused daily practice for 2 weeks is enough to master it.

Which formulas are most important for Kinematics 1D in JEE Advanced?

The three equations of motion (v = u+at, s = ut+½at², v² = u²+2as) are starting points, but JEE Advanced demands more. The most critical tools are: relative velocity formula (V_AB = V_A – V_B), the pseudo-force equation in non-inertial frames (F_pseudo = –ma_frame), and the calculus definitions (v = dx/dt, a = dv/dt). Practice deriving results rather than memorising them.
