Match the first column with appropriate entries in the second and third columns and remake the table.
S.No. | Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
1 | Negative acceleration | The velocity of the object remains constant | A car , intially at rest reaches a velocity of 50 km/hr in 10 seconds |
2 | Positive acceleration | The velocity of the object decreases | A vehicle is moving with a velocity of 25 m/s |
3 | Zero acceleration | The velocity of the object increases | A vehicle moving with the velocity of 10 m/s,stops after 5 seconds . |
