प्रश्न
A car traveling at 60 km/h, stops on applying brakes in 10 seconds. What is its acceleration?

उत्तर
First convert 60 km/h in m/s.
60 km/hr =(60 X 1000)/3600 = 16.7 m/s.
This is initial velocity of car i.e u = 16.7 m/s.
As car stops in 10 seconds so final velocity is =0 m/s.
So acceleration = (v-u)/t = (0-16.7)/10 = -1.67 ms-2.
Acceleration of car is = -1.67 ms-2.

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.
Diagram is given below shows velocity – time graph of car P and Q, starting from the same place and in the same direction. Calculate the Acceleration of car Q between 2 s – 5 s.
The acceleration of a body is 8.5 ms-2. What does this statement mean?
Out of energy and acceleration, which one is a vector?
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 Deceleration.
Acceleration is a scalar.
Assertion: A negative acceleration of a body can be associated with speeding up of the body.
Reason: Increase in the speed of a moving body is independent of its direction of motion.
