प्रश्न
A car is travelling at 20 m/s along a road. A child runs out into the road 50 m ahead and the car driver steps on the brake pedal. What must the car’s deceleration be if the car is to stop just before it reaches the child ?

उत्तर
We have to find the deceleration. We have the following information given,
Initial velocity, (u) = 20 m/s
Final velocity, (v) = 0 m/s
Distance travelled, (s) = 50 m
Let the deceleration for the entire journey be (a)
We can calculate acceleration by using the 3rd equation of motion,
`a = (v^2-u^2)/(2s)`
(s) - Displacement
(u) - Initial velocity
(a) - Acceleration
(v) - Final velocity
Put the values in above equation to find the deceleration,
`a = [(0-400)/(2(50)]] "m/s"^2`
= `(-400/100)` `"m/s"^2`
= -4 `"m/s"^2`
Hence, deceleration is 4 m/s2.

Boojho goes to the football ground to play football. The distance-time graph of his journey from his home to the ground is given in the figure.
- What does the graph between points B and C indicate about the motion of Boojho?
- Is the motion between 0 to 4 minutes uniform or non-uniform?
- What is his speed between 8 and 12 minutes of his journey?
The slope of the distance-time graph indicates the speed.
Assertion: The position-time graph of a uniform motion in one dimension of a body can have a negative slope
Reason: When the speed of the body decreases with time then, the position-time graph of the moving body has a negative slope.
