प्रश्न
A truck running at 90 kmh−1, is brought to rest over a distance of 25 m. Calculate the retardation and time for which brakes are applied.

उत्तर
Initial velocity = u = 90 kmh−1 = `90xx5/18` ms−1
u = 25 ms−1
Final velocity = v = 0
Distance = S = 25 m
v2 − u2 = 2aS
(0)2 − (25)2 = 2a (25)
50a = −625
(retardation) a = `(-625)/50` = −12.5 ms−2
Now, v = u + at
0 = 25 + (−12.5)t
12.5t = 25
(Time) t = `25/12.5` = 2s

State the type of motion represented by the following sketches in Figures.

Give an example of each type of motion.
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.
Define acceleration.
A car traveling at 60 km/h, stops on applying brakes in 10 seconds. What is its acceleration?
Distinguish between uniformly and non-uniformly accelerated motions.
Interpret the following graph:
Convert the following acceleration:
7200 km/h2 into m/s2
Correct your friend who says that acceleration gives the idea of how fast the position changes.
State whether true or false. If false, correct the statement.
Acceleration can get negative value also.
When a body is said to be in
- uniform acceleration
- non–uniform acceleration?
