- 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

The unit of retardation is ____________
The velocity-time graph for a uniformly retarded body is a straight line inclined to the time axis with an obtuse angle. How is retardation calculated from the velocity-time graph?
Figure given below shows a velocity-time graph for a car starting from rest. The graph has three parts AB, BC and CD.

Which part of graph shows motion with uniform
(a) velocity (b) acceleration (c) retardation ?
From the diagram given below, calculate acceleration.

The acceleration of a moving body is constant in magnitude and direction. Must the path of the body be a straight line?
If not, given an example.
Write the SI unit of acceleration and retardation.
Can you use the relation [B1]?
The speed of a car increases from 10 km/h to 64 km/h in 10 seconds. What will be its acceleration?
Assertion: A positive acceleration of a body can be associated with the slowing down of the body.
Reason: Acceleration is a vector.
Assertion: Position-time graph of a stationary object is a straight line parallel to the time axis.
Reason: For a stationary object, the position does not change with time.
