Question
Multiple choice Question. Select the correct option.
In the velocity-time graph, the acceleration is
Options
– 4 m/s2
4 m/s2
10 m/s2
zero
Advertisements
Solution
– 4 m/s2
Explanation:
Acceleration = Slope of velocity-time graph
a = `-20/5` .....[∵ Velocity is decreasing with time]
a = −4 m/s2 ........[∴ Acceleration will be negative]
