प्रश्न
A spaceship is moving in space with a velocity of 60 kms−1. It fires its retro engines for 20 seconds and velocity is reduced to 55 kms−1. Calculate the distance travelled by a spaceship in 40 s, from the time of firing of the retro- rockets.

उत्तर
Initial velocity of spaceship = u = 60 kms−1
Final velocity of spaceship = v = 55 kms−1
It decelerates for 20 s
t = 20 s
v = u + at
55 = 60 + a (20)
20a = 55 – 60
20a = −5
a = `(-5)/20`
a = − 0.25
distance travelled in the first 20 sec. = s = u × t − `1/2` a × t2
s = 60 × 20 − `1/2` × 0.25 × 202
= 1200 − `1/2` × 0.25 × 400
= 1200 − `1/2` × 100
= 1200 − 50
= 1,150 km.
After 20 sec. the velocity of the spaceship is constant at 55 km/sec. Hence, the distance travelled is = 55 × 20 = 1,100 km
The total distance travelled in 40 sec. = 1,150 + 1,100 = 2,250 km

Distance between Bholu’s and Golu’s house is 9 km. Bholu has to attend Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. He started from his home at 6 o’clock on his bicycle and covered a distance of 6 km in 40 minutes. At that point, he met Chintu and he spoke to him for 5 minutes and reached Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. With what speed did he cover the second part of the journey? Calculate his average speed for the entire journey.
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.
