For a moving body at any instant of time
If the body is not moving, the acceleration is necessarily zero
If the body is slowing, the retardation is negative
If the body is slowing, the distance is negative
If displacement, velocity and acceleration at that instant are known, we can find the displacement at any given time in future
A car is moving with speed of $150\,km / h$ and after applying the brake it will move $27\,m$ before it stops. If the same car is moving with a speed of one third the reported speed then it will stop after travelling $....m$ distance.
A small block slides without friction down an inclined plane starting from rest. Let ${S_n}$be the distance travelled from time $t = n - 1$ to $t = n.$ Then $\frac{{{S_n}}}{{{S_{n + 1}}}}$ is
A particle moves towards east with velocity $5\, m/s$. After $10$ seconds its direction changes towards north with same velocity. The average acceleration of the particle is
The velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs of a particle are given as Its position-time graph may be gvien as
The velocity of a particle moving in the positive direction of $x$-axis varies as $v=5 \sqrt{x}$. Assuming that at $t=0$, particle was at $x=0$. What is the acceleration of the particle $.........m/s^2$
