Distance travelled
A car starts from rest and it is travelling with a velocity of 20 m/s in 10 s. What is its acceleration?
Negative acceleration is called ______.
The speed of a particle is constant. Will it have acceleration? Justify with an example.
The value of acceleration for a body at rest is ______.
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.
