(N/A) The given $a-t$ graph shows that initially,the body is moving with a constant velocity (acceleration is zero).
Then,for a short interval of time,the acceleration increases to a maximum value and then decreases back to zero.
Finally,the body continues to move with a constant velocity again.
$A$ suitable physical situation for this graph is a hammer moving with a uniform velocity striking a nail. During the impact,the hammer experiences a brief period of high acceleration (deceleration) before continuing its motion or coming to rest.

The displacement equation for a particle is $s = 3t^3 + 7t^2 + 14t + 8 \ m$. Its acceleration at time $t = 1 \ s$ is ....... $m/s^2$.

The velocity $(v)-$ time $(t)$ plot of the motion of a body is shown below:
The acceleration $(a)-$ time $(t)$ graph that best suits this motion is:

The position,velocity,and acceleration of a particle moving with a constant acceleration can be represented by:

$A$ 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:

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:
