The change in velocity of a motorbike is 54 kmh−1 in one minute. Calculate its acceleration in (a) ms−2 (b) kmh−2.

उत्तर
Change in velocity = 54 kmh−1 = `54xx1000/3600` ms−1 = 15 ms−1
Time = 1 minute = 60 s
Acceleration (a) = `"Change in velocity"/"Time"`
= `15/60` ms−2
a = 0.25 ms−2
a = `0.25xx1000/3600xx3600` kmh−2 = 3240 kmh−2

Explain the following concept in your own words with everyday examples:
Acceleration
From the velocity – time graph given below, calculate deceleration in region BC.

The distance covered by a body is directly proportional to the square of the time elapsed. What can you say about its acceleration?
The graph shows how the velocity of a scooter varies with time in 50 s.
Work out: Acceleration.
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:
The acceleration.
From the given v-t graph it can be inferred that an object is

Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction or both of them.
Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in magnitude of the velocity. It does not depend the direction.
