प्रश्न
A car is travelling at 20 m/s along a road. A child runs out into the road 50 m ahead and the car driver steps on the brake pedal. What must the car’s deceleration be if the car is to stop just before it reaches the child ?

उत्तर
We have to find the deceleration. We have the following information given,
Initial velocity, (u) = 20 m/s
Final velocity, (v) = 0 m/s
Distance travelled, (s) = 50 m
Let the deceleration for the entire journey be (a)
We can calculate acceleration by using the 3rd equation of motion,
`a = (v^2-u^2)/(2s)`
(s) - Displacement
(u) - Initial velocity
(a) - Acceleration
(v) - Final velocity
Put the values in above equation to find the deceleration,
`a = [(0-400)/(2(50)]] "m/s"^2`
= `(-400/100)` `"m/s"^2`
= -4 `"m/s"^2`
Hence, deceleration is 4 m/s2.

Distance between Bholu’s and Golu’s house is 9 km. Bholu has to attend Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. He started from his home at 6 o’clock on his bicycle and covered a distance of 6 km in 40 minutes. At that point, he met Chintu and he spoke to him for 5 minutes and reached Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. With what speed did he cover the second part of the journey? Calculate his average speed for the entire journey.
The slope of the distance-time curve is steeper/greater is the ______.
Assertion: The slope of the distance-time graph of a body moving with high speed is steeper than the slope of the distance-time graph of a body with low velocity.
Reason: Slope of distance-time graph = speed of the body.
