When is the acceleration due to gravity negative?
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.
The distance covered by a body is directly proportional to the square of the time elapsed. What can you say about its acceleration?
Is it possible for an accelerating body to have constant speed?

Work out: Deceleration
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.
The acceleration of the body that moves with a uniform velocity will be ______.
