$(a)$ Differentiate acceleration from velocity.

$(b)$ Can a body have acceleration without change in magnitude of velocity ? Explain with an example.

$(c)$ A motor boat starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of $3\, m s ^{-2}$ for $8 \,s$. How far does the boat travel during this time ?

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

$(a)$ Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity while velocity is the rate of change of displacement

$(b)$ Yes. For a body having uniform circular motion magnitude of velocity is constant but it possesses acceleration due to its continuously changing direction.

$(c)$ Using the equation $S=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$

$S=0+\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times(8)^{2}=96 m$

Science

Define acceleration. State a relationship connecting $u, v, a$ and $t$ for an accelerated motion. Give an example of a motion in which acceleration is uniform.

The driver of a train $A$ travelling at a speed of $54\, km h^{-1}$ applies brakes and retards the train uniformly The train stops in $5\, s$. Another train $B$ is travelling on the parallel track with a speed of $36\, km h ^{-1}$. This driver also applies the brakes and the train retards uniformly. The train $B$ stops in $10\, s$. Plot speed time graph for both the trains on the same paper. Also, calculate the distance travelled by each train after the brakes were applied.
