Give a scientific reason.
When an object falls freely to the ground, its acceleration is uniform.
A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at a rate of 2 m s−2 for 10 s. It then maintains a constant speed for 200 s. The brakes are then applied and the train is uniformly retarded and comes to rest in 50 s. Find
- The maximum velocity reached,
- The retardation in the last 50 s,
- The total distance travelled,
- The average velocity of the train.
When is the acceleration due to gravity positive?
What is the SI unit of acceleration?
The distance covered by a body is directly proportional to the square of the time elapsed. What can you say about its acceleration?
A car is moving with a speed of 50 km/h. One second later, its speed is 55 km/h. What is its 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:
Distance travelled
If the velocity of a body does not change, then its acceleration is ______.
The acceleration of the body that moves with a uniform velocity will be ______.
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.
