उत्तर

Given :
Initial velocity of the car (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity of the car (v) = 20 m/s
time taken = 10s
Acceleration = ?
Formula:

Acceleration = \(\frac {20– 0}{10}\) = \(\frac {20}{10}\)

Acceleration of the car = 2 m/s2

Give one example of the following motion:

Uniform retardation


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

  1. The maximum velocity reached,
  2. The retardation in the last 50 s,
  3. The total distance travelled,
  4. 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:

  1. The distance which the car travels before the brakes are applied,
  2. Retardation and
  3. The distance travelled by car after applying the brakes.

When is the acceleration due to gravity negative?


A motorbike, initially at rest, picks up a velocity of 72 kmh−1 over a distance of 40 m. Calculate

  1. acceleration
  2. time in which it picks up above velocity.

What does a negative acceleration mean?

Distinguish between uniformly and non-uniformly accelerated motions.


State if the following situation is possible:
A body moving with a constant velocity in an accelerated motion.


Is it possible for an accelerating body to have constant speed?


Interpret the following graph:


A car accelerates to a velocity of 30 m/s in 10 s and then decelerates for 20 s so that it stops. Draw a velocity-time graph to represent the motion and find:
The acceleration.


A car accelerates to a velocity of 30 m/s in 10 s and then decelerates for 20 s so that it stops. Draw a velocity-time graph to represent the motion and find:
Distance travelled


Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction or both of them.

Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in magnitude of the velocity. It does not depend the direction.


If the velocity of a body does not change, then its acceleration is ______.


When a body starts from rest, the acceleration of the body after 2 seconds in ______ of its displacement.


The speed of a particle is constant. Will it have acceleration? Justify with an example.


A bus accelerating with 4ms-2 changes its speed from 60ms_1 to a certain value in 5s. The final speed is ______.


A boy throws a ball up and catches it when the ball falls back. In which part of the motion the ball is accelerating?


Acceleration is a scalar.
