Figure given below shows a velocity-time graph for a car starting from rest. The graph has three parts AB, BC and CD.
Which part of graph shows motion with uniform
(a) velocity (b) acceleration (c) retardation ?
A car travels with uniform velocity of 25 m s-1 for 5 s. The brakes are then applied and the car is uniformly retarded and comes to rest in further 10 s. Find:
- The distance which the car travels before the brakes are applied,
- Retardation and
- The distance travelled by car after applying the brakes.
From the velocity – time graph given below, calculate deceleration in region BC.
