A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at a rate of 2 m s−2 for 10 s. It then maintains a constant speed for 200 s. The brakes are then applied and the train is uniformly retarded and comes to rest in 50 s. Find
- The maximum velocity reached,
- The retardation in the last 50 s,
- The total distance travelled,
- The average velocity of the train.
If a body is moving with a constant velocity its acceleration is ______.
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?

From the velocity – time graph given below, calculate deceleration in region BC.

Diagram is given below shows velocity – time graph of car P and Q, starting from the same place and in the same direction. Calculate the Acceleration of car P.

Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction or both of them.
Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in magnitude of the velocity. It does not depend the direction.
