उत्तर
-
Type of Motion:Uniform Acceleration
-
The graph shows a straight line with a positive slope, indicating that velocity increases at a constant rate over time.
-
This means the object is accelerating uniformly.
Example:
A car increasing its speed steadily on a straight road (e.g., from 0 km/h to 60 km/h in 10 seconds at a constant rate). -
-
Type of Motion: Non-Uniform Retardation (Deceleration)
-
The graph shows a curved line with a decreasing slope, indicating that velocity is decreasing over time, but not at a constant rate.
-
This means the object is slowing down, and the rate of slowing down is changing.
Example:
A bicycle coming to a stop when brakes are applied gently and gradually. -

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.
A ball is rolling from A to D on a flat and smooth surface. Its speed is 2 cm/s. On reaching B, it was pushed continuously up to C. On reaching D from C, its speed had become 4 cm/s. It took 2 seconds for it to go from B to C. What is the acceleration of the ball as it goes from B to C?
