Figure shows the velocity-time graphs for two cars A and B moving in the same direction. Which car has greater acceleration? Give reasons to your answer.

A train moving with a velocity of 20 ms−1 is brought to rest by applying brakes in 5 s. Calculate the retardation.
Explain the following concept in your own words with everyday examples:
Acceleration
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?

A racing car is moving with a velocity of 50 m/s. On
applying brakes, it is uniformly retarded and comes to rest in 20 seconds. Calculate its acceleration.
Interpret the following graph:
Convert the following acceleration:
1/36 m/s2 into km/h2
A car accelerates to a velocity of 30 m/s in 10 s and then decelerates for 20 s so that it stops. Draw a velocity-time graph to represent the motion and find:
Distance travelled
The rate of change of velocity is ______.
The slope of a velocity-time graph gives ______.
