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. -

Figure shows the velocity-time graphs for two cars A and B moving in the same direction. Which car has greater acceleration? Give reasons to your answer.

A vehicle is accelerating on a straight road. Its velocity at any instant is 30 km/h. After 2 s, it is 33.6 km/h, and after further 2 s, it is 37.2 km/h. Find the acceleration of the vehicle in m s-2. Is the acceleration uniform?
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?

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 body is 8.5 ms-2. What does this statement mean?

A car starts from rest and it is travelling with a velocity of 20 m/s in 10 s. What is its acceleration?
If a moving body comes to rest, then its acceleration is ______.
Assertion: When a body is subjected to a uniform acceleration, it is always moving in a straight line.
Reason: Motion may be straight-line motion or circular motion.
