Question
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
Advertisements
Solution
Distance travelled= area under speed time graph = `1/2`x30x30 =450 m.

Define acceleration. State its unit.
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.
Draw velocity – time graph for the following situation:
When a body is moving with variable velocity, but uniform retardation.
From the velocity – time graph given below, calculate deceleration in region BC.
State if the following situation is possible:
A body moving horizontally with an acceleration in vertical direction.
Interpret the following graph:
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.
The slope of a velocity-time graph gives ______.
It is possible to have objects moving with uniform speed but variable acceleration.
Assertion: A negative acceleration of a body can be associated with speeding up of the body.
Reason: Increase in the speed of a moving body is independent of its direction of motion.
