प्रश्न
The change in velocity of a motorbike is 54 kmh−1 in one minute. Calculate its acceleration in (a) ms−2 (b) kmh−2.

उत्तर
Change in velocity = 54 kmh−1 = `54xx1000/3600` ms−1 = 15 ms−1
Time = 1 minute = 60 s
Acceleration (a) = `"Change in velocity"/"Time"`
= `15/60` ms−2
a = 0.25 ms−2
a = `0.25xx1000/3600xx3600` kmh−2 = 3240 kmh−2

Define acceleration. State its unit.
The unit of retardation is ____________
From the diagram given below, calculate acceleration.

What is the SI unit of 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:
The acceleration.
Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction or both of them.
Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in magnitude of the velocity. It does not depend the direction.
What do you understand about negative acceleration?
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of ______.
If a body starts from rest, what can be said about the acceleration of the body?
Acceleration is a scalar.
