A bus decreases its speed from $80\, km\, h^{-1}$ to $50 \,km h ^{-1}$ in $4\, s$. Find the acceleration of the bus.
A car manufacturer advertises that the brakes are so perfect that the car stops instantaneously. Comment.
Under what conditions of motion, the distance covered by a body is equal to the magnitude of its displacement ?
There are 5 houses on a street, $A, B, C, D$ and $E$. For all cases, assume that positions to the right are positive.
$(i)$ Draw a frame of reference with house $A$ as the origin and the positions of houses $B, C, D$ and $E$.
$(ii)$ You live in house $C.$ What is your position relative to house $E$ ?
$(iii)$ What are the positions of houses $A$ and $D$, if house $B$ is taken as the reference point ?
$(a)$ Write differences between speed and velocity.
$(b)$ The speed of a moving object is $x m s ^{-1}$. Its velocity is $y m s ^{-1}$. What is the similarity observed ?
