Starting from rest a scooter acquires a velocity of $36\, km h^{-1}$ in $10 \,s$ and then brakes are applied it takes $20\, s$ to stop. Calculate acceleration and distance travelled.
$u=36 km h ^{-1}=10 m s ^{-1}$
$u=0$
$t=10 s$
$\therefore \quad a=\frac{v-u}{t}$.
$=\frac{10}{10}=1 ms ^{-2}$
$S=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$
$=0+\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 400$
$=200 \,m$,
Write true or false for the following statements
Kinematics deals with the motion of non$-$living objects without taking into account the cause of their motion.
What conclusion can you draw from the displacement$-$time graph of a body as shown below ?
Write true or false for the following statements
Velocity and speed are measured in different units.
The distance$-$time graph of a body is parallel to time axis. The body is
The following table show os the positon of three persons between $8.00\, am$ to $8.20\, am$.
Time | Position (in $km$) | ||
Person $A$ | Person $B$ | Person $C$ | |
$8.00 \,am$ | $0$ | $0$ | $0$ |
$8.05 \,am$ | $4$ | $5$ | $10$ |
$8.10\, am$ | $13$ | $10$ | $19$ |
$8.15 \,am$ | $20$ | $15$ | $24$ |
$8.20\, am$ | $25$ | $20$ | $27$ |
$(i)$ Who is moving with constant speed ?
$(ii)$ Who has travelled maximum distance between $8.00\, am$ to $8.05\, am$ ?
$(iii)$ Calculate the average speed of person $'A^{\prime}$ in $k m h^{-1}$
