A space craft flying in a straight course with velocity of 75 km s-1 fires its rocket motors for 6.0 s. At the end of this time its speed is 120 km s-1 in the same direction.
Find
(i) The space craft's average acceleration while the motors were firing
(ii) The distance travelled by the space craft in the first 10 s after the rocket motors were started, the motors being in action for only 6 s.
From the diagram given below, calculate deceleration.

A cyclist driving at 5 ms−1, picks a velocity of 10 ms−1, over a distance of 50 m. Calculate
- acceleration
- time in which the cyclist picks up above velocity.
An aeroplane lands at 216 kmh−1 and stops after covering a runway of 2 m. Calculate the acceleration and the time, in which it comes to rest.
The acceleration of a moving body is constant in magnitude and direction. Must the path of the body be a straight line?
If not, given an example.
Convert the following acceleration:
1/36 m/s2 into km/h2
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:
Distance travelled
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of ______.
Assertion: A negative acceleration of a body can be associated with speeding up of the body.
Reason: Increase in the speed of a moving body is independent of its direction of motion.
