  • A
    When velocity and acceleration are in the same direction.
  • B
    When velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions.
  • C

$A$ body is moving according to the equation $x = at + bt^2 - ct^3$,where $x$ is displacement and $a, b,$ and $c$ are constants. The acceleration of the body is:

$A$ body in one-dimensional motion has zero speed at an instant. At that instant,it must have:

The relation between the displacement $x$ (in metre) and the time $t$ (in second) of a particle is $t = 2x^2 + 3x$. If the displacement of the particle is $25 \ cm$ from the origin $(x = 0)$,then the acceleration of the particle is:

For the acceleration-time $(a-t)$ graph shown in the figure, the change in velocity of the particle from $t=0$ to $t=6 \, s$ is ........ $m/s$.
