A racing car, initially at rest, picks up a velocity of 180 kmh−1 in 4.5 s. Calculate
- acceleration
- distance covered by the car.

उत्तर
Initial velocity of car = u = 0
Final velocity of car = v = 180 kmh−1 = `180xx5/18` ms−1
v = 50 ms−1
Time = t = 4.5 s
v = u + at
50 = 0 + a (4.5)
4.5a = 50
a = `50/4.5` = 11.11 ms−2
(Distance) S = ut + `1/2` at2
S = `0(4.5)+1/2xx50/4.5xx(4.5)^2`
S = 0 + 25 × 4.5
S = 112.5 m

Give a scientific reason.
When an object falls freely to the ground, its acceleration is uniform.
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?

The distance covered by a body is directly proportional to the square of the time elapsed. What can you say about its acceleration?
Interpret the following graph:
A car accelerates uniformly from a velocity of 18 km/h to 36 km/h in 15 min. What is its acceleration?
The graph shows how the velocity of a scooter varies with time in 50 s.
Work out: Deceleration
From the given v-t graph it can be inferred that an object is

Correct your friend who says that acceleration gives the idea of how fast the position changes.
Acceleration is a scalar.
Assertion: When a body is subjected to a uniform acceleration, it is always moving in a straight line.
Reason: Motion may be straight-line motion or circular motion.
