Distinguish between acceleration and retardation.
Give one example of the following motion:
Uniform retardation
A motorbike, initially at rest, picks up a velocity of 72 kmh−1 over a distance of 40 m. Calculate
- acceleration
- time in which it picks up above velocity.
A cyclist driving at 5 ms−1, picks a velocity of 10 ms−1, over a distance of 50 m. Calculate
- acceleration
- time in which the cyclist picks up above velocity.
Define acceleration.
A body has an acceleration of -3.5 ms-2. What is its retardation?
The speed of a particle is constant. Will it have acceleration? Justify with an example.
Acceleration is a scalar.
Assertion: A negative acceleration of a body can be associated with speeding up of the body.
Reason: Increase in the speed of a moving body is independent of its direction of motion.
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.
