2.Motion in Straight Line
medium

The position $(x)$ of a particle moving along $x$-axis varies with time $(t)$ as shown in figure. The average acceleration of particle in time interval $t=0$ to $t=8 s$ is ........... $m / s ^2$

A$-5$
B$3$ 
C$-4$
D$2.5$

Solution

(b)
$t=0 \text { to } t=2 \quad \quad t=6 \text { to } t=8$
$v=20 \,m / s \quad \quad \quad v=-20 \,m / s$
$a_{\text {avg }}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{-20-20}{8}=\frac{-40}{8}=-5\,ms ^{-2}$
$a_{\text {avg }}=-5 \,ms ^{-2}$
