Figure given below shows a velocity-time graph for a car starting from rest. The graph has three parts AB, BC and CD.
(a) Is the magnitude of acceleration higher or lower than that of retardation ? Give a reason .
(b) Compare the magnitude of acceleration and retardation .

उत्तर
(a) The magnitude of acceleration is lower as the slope of line AB is less than that of line CD.
(b) Slope of line AB = vo/t
Slope of line CD = vo/0.5t
Slope of line AB/Slope of line CD = (vo /t)/(vo /0.5t)
Slope of line AB:Slope of line CD :: 1:2.

What is meant by the term retardation? Name its S.I. unit.
A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at a rate of 2 m s−2 for 10 s. It then maintains a constant speed for 200 s. The brakes are then applied and the train is uniformly retarded and comes to rest in 50 s. Find
- The maximum velocity reached,
- The retardation in the last 50 s,
- The total distance travelled,
- The average velocity of the train.
