Question
The velocity-time graph of a moving body is given below in Figure
The acceleration in parts AB, BC and CD.
Advertisements
Solution
Acceleration in the part AB = Slope of AB
= tan (∠BAD)
= (30/4) ms-2
= 7.5 ms-2
Acceleration in the part BC = 0 ms-2
Acceleration in the part CD = slope of CD = -tan (∠CDA)
= -(30/2) ms-2
= -15 ms-2
