प्रश्न
The speed of a car increases from 10 km/h to 64 km/h in 10 seconds. What will be its acceleration?

उत्तर
Initial velocity u = 10 km/hr. = (10 X 1000)/3600 = 8.33 ms-1.
Final velocity = 64 km/hr = (64 X 1000)/3600 = 17.77 ms-1.
Time = 10 s.
Acceleration = (v-u)/t = (17.77- 8.33)/10 = 9.44/10 = 0.94 ms-2.

Define the term acceleration due to gravity. State its average value.
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.
From the velocity – time graph given below, calculate deceleration in region BC.

A cyclist driving at 5 ms−1, picks a velocity of 10 ms−1, over a distance of 50 m. Calculate
