A body moves with a velocity of 2ms−1 for 5s, then its velocity increases uniformly to 10ms−1 in next 5s. Thereafter, its velocity begins to decrease at a uniform rate until it comes to rest after 5s.
(i) Plot a velocity-time graph for the motion of the body.
(ii) From the graph, find the total distance covered by the body after 2s and 12s.
(ii) According to the graph :
Distance moved by the body after 2s= Area OAB′C′=2ms−1×2s=4m
Distance covered by the body after 12s
= Area OAED + Area BEF + Area of DHGI + Area of FHG
=2ms−1×10s+12×5s×8ms−1+ 6ms−1×2s+12×2s×5ms−1
=20m+20m+12m+4m=56m
A satellite while revolving around the earth completes one revolution in 1 hour and 30 minutes. What is the angular speed of the satellite ?

In one−dimensional motion, the average velocity and the instantaneous velocity are unequal.
Answer the following questions
(i) State the type of motion shown by a freely falling stone.
(ii) When a stone is thrown vertically upwards its velocity is continuously decreased. Why ?
(iii) Give an example of a motion in which average velocity is zero, but the average speed is not zero.
Starting from rest a scooter acquires a velocity of 36kmh−1 in 10s and then brakes are applied it takes 20s to stop. Calculate acceleration and distance travelled.
