In your everyday life, you come across a range of motions in which
$(a)$ acceleration is in the direction of motion.
$(b)$ acceleration is against the direction of motion.
$(c)$ acceleration is uniform.
$(d)$ acceleration is non$-$uniform.
Can you identify one example each of the above type of motion ?
$(a)$ When the speed of a car on a road increases. the acceleration of the car is in the direction of motion.
$(b)$ When brakes are applied to a car in motion, its speed decreases. The acceleration produced in the car is against the direction of motion.
$(c)$ When a body is falling freely under the action of gravity, it has a uniform acceleration $g=9.8 m s ^{-2}$
$(d)$ When a car is passing through city limits on a highway, its acceleration $/$ retardation is non$-$uniform depending on the volume of traffic.
Write true or false for the following statements
Velocity and speed are measured in different units.
Area under a $v -t$ graph represents a physical quantity which has the unit
The displacement of a body is proportional to the cube of the time lapsed. The magnitude of the acceleration is
A bus decreases its speed from $80\, km\, h^{-1}$ to $50 \,km h ^{-1}$ in $4\, s$. Find the acceleration of the bus.
Mention the nature of motion of a body if its displacement$-$time graph is a straight line parallel to time axis.
