Solution
Acceleration of car P = Slope of v.t. graph (OA) for car P.
= `"AB"/"OB"=35/10` = 3.5 ms−2

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?
Explain the following concept in your own words with everyday examples:
Acceleration
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?
Give an example of an accelerated body, moving with a uniform speed.
Define acceleration.
What does a positive acceleration mean?
The distance covered by a body is directly proportional to the square of the time elapsed. What can you say about its acceleration?
State if the following situation is possible:
A body moving with constant acceleration but with Zero velocity.
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.
