प्रश्न
A ball is rolling from A to D on a flat and smooth surface. Its speed is 2 cm/s. On reaching B, it was pushed continuously up to C. On reaching D from C, its speed had become 4 cm/s. It took 2 seconds for it to go from B to C. What is the acceleration of the ball as it goes from B to C?

उत्तर
The acceleration of the ball between A to B is zero as the speed and direction of the ball are constant. After point B, a force is applied. Thus, the ball will get accelerated.
`"Acceleration of the ball from B to C" = "Change in velocity from B to C"/"Time taken for this change"`
`"Acceleration of the ball from B to C" = (4 - 2)/2 = 1m"/"s^2`

A train moving with a velocity of 20 ms−1 is brought to rest by applying brakes in 5 s. Calculate the retardation.
A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at a rate of 2 m s−2 for 10 s. It then maintains a constant speed for 200 s. The brakes are then applied and the train is uniformly retarded and comes to rest in 50 s. Find
- The maximum velocity reached,
- The retardation in the last 50 s,
- The total distance travelled,
- The average velocity of the train.
A car travels with uniform velocity of 25 m s-1 for 5 s. The brakes are then applied and the car is uniformly retarded and comes to rest in further 10 s. Find:
- The distance which the car travels before the brakes are applied,
- Retardation and
- The distance travelled by car after applying the brakes.
What is the SI unit of acceleration?
