A particle starts moving from rest in a straight line with constant acceleration. After time $t_0$, acceleration changes its sign (just opposite to the initial direction), remaining the same in magnitude. Determine the time from the beginning of motion in which the particle returns to the initial position.

A target is made of two plates, one of wood and the other of iron. The thickness of the wooden plate is $4\,cm$ and that of iron plate is $2\,cm$. A bullet fired goes through the wood first and then penetrates $1\,cm$ into iron. A similar bullet fired with the same velocity from opposite direction goes through iron first and then penetrates $2\,cm$ into wood. If $a_1$ and $a_2$ be the retardations offered to the bullet by wood and iron plates respectively, then
A rocket is moving in a gravity free space with a constant acceleration of $2 \ ms ^{-2}$ along $+x$ direction (see figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is $4 \ m$. A ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in $+x$ direction with a speed of $0.3 \ ms ^{-1}$ relative to the rocket. At the same time, another ball is thrown in $-x$ direction with a speed of $0.2 \ ms ^{-1}$ from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is:
