प्रश्न
A boy is sitting on a merry-go-round which is moving with a constant speed of 10 m s−1. This means that the boy is :
पर्याय
at rest
moving with no acceleration
in accelerated motion
moving with uniform velocity
Advertisements
उत्तर
in accelerated motion
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and the velocity of the merry-go-round is changing with respect to time. Thus, it will move in an accelerated motion.

A train starting from a railway station and moving with uniform acceleration attains a speed 40 km h−1 in 10 minutes. Find its acceleration.
What term is used to denote the change of velocity with time ?
Fill in the following blank with suitable word :
If a body moves with uniform velocity, its acceleration is ..............
The slope of a speed-time graph gives:
Derive the following equations for uniformly accelerated motion:
(i) v = u + at
(ii) `"S = ut" + 1/2 "at"^2`
(iii) v2 = u2 + 2aS
where the symbols have their usual meanings.

Velocity from acceleration – time graph.
Can you suggest a real-life example about the motion of a body from the following velocity – time graph?

A packet is dropped from a stationary helicopter, hovering at a height ‘h’ from ground level, reaches the ground in 12s. Calculate
- the value of h
- final velocity of packet on reaching the ground. (Take g = 9.8 ms−2)
