How long does it take to travel 240 m ?
Give one example of a motion where an object does not change its speed but its direction of motion changes continuously.
A car is moving on a straight road with uniform acceleration. The speed of the car varies with time as follows :
Time (s) : 0 2 4 6 8 10
Speed (m/s) : 4 8 12 16 20 24
Draw the speed-time graph by choosing a convenient scale. From this graph :
(1) Calculate the acceleration of the car.
(2) Calculate the distance travelled by the car in 10 seconds.
The graph given alongside shows how the speed of a car changes with time:
(i) What is the initial speed of the car ?
(ii) What is the maximum speed attained by the car ?
(iii) Which part of the graph shows zero acceleration ?
(iv) Which part of the graph shows varying retardation ?
(v) Find the distance travelled in first 8 hours.
Which of the following can sometimes be 'zero' for a moving body?
(i) average velocity
(ii) distance travelled
(iii) average speed
(iv) displacement
Which of the quantity-velocity or acceleration-determines the direction of motion?
A car is moving in a straight line with speed 18 km h-1. It is stopped in 5 s by applying the brakes. Find:
- the speed of car in m s-1
- the retardation and
- the speed of car after 2 s of applying the brakes.
Figure shows the displacement of a body at different times .
Calculate the velocity of the body as it moves for time interval :
(i) 0 to 5 s,
(ii) 5 s to 7 s
(iii) 7 s to 9 s.
Figure shows the displacement of a body at different times .
Calculate the average velocity during the time interval 5 s to 9 s ,
[Hint : From 5 s to 9 s , displacement = 7 m - 3m = 4m]
