A spaceship is moving in space with a velocity of 60 kms−1. It fires its retro engines for 20 seconds and velocity is reduced to 55 kms−1. Calculate the distance travelled by a spaceship in 40 s, from the time of firing of the retro- rockets.
Write down the type of motion of a body in each of the following distance time-graph.
The slope of the distance-time graph indicates the speed.
Assertion: The position-time graph of a uniform motion in one dimension of a body can have a negative slope
Reason: When the speed of the body decreases with time then, the position-time graph of the moving body has a negative slope.
What do you infer if
- Distance – time graph is a straight line.
- The velocity-time graph is curved.
- Displacement time is zigzag.
