- distance covered during the application of brakes.

उत्तर
Initial velocity = u = 36 kmh−1
= u = `36xx5/18` ms−1 = 10 ms−1
Final velocity = v = 0
Time = t = 2s
(i) Retardation = a = ?
v = u + at
0 = 10 + a (2)
2a = −10
a = `(-10)/2` = −5 ms−2
(ii) Distance covered S =?
v2 − u2 = 2aS
(0)2 − (10)2 = 2(−5) S
−10S = −100
S = `100/10`
S = 10 m

State the type of motion represented by the following sketches in Figures.
Give an example of each type of motion.
Draw a graph for acceleration against time for a uniformly accelerated motion. How can it be used to find the change in speed in a certain interval of time?
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?
When is the acceleration due to gravity positive?
A motor bike running at 5 ms−1, picks up a velocity of 30 ms−1 in 5s. Calculate
- acceleration
- distance covered during acceleration.
The distance covered by a body is directly proportional to the square of the time elapsed. What can you say about its acceleration?
Figure represents graphically the velocity of a car moving along a straight road over a period of 100 hours.
Calculate the acceleration along AB and the retardation along BC.
Assertion: A positive acceleration of a body can be associated with the slowing down of the body.
Reason: Acceleration is a vector.
