The displacement of a particle,moving in a straight line,is given by $s = 2t^2 + 2t + 4$,where $s$ is in metres and $t$ is in seconds. The acceleration of the particle is ........ $m/s^2$.

Define acceleration,average acceleration,and instantaneous acceleration.

Let $\vec v$ and $\vec a$ denote the velocity and acceleration respectively of a body in one-dimensional motion. Which of the following statements is correct regarding the speed of the body?

$A$ point moves in a straight line so that its displacement $x \ m$ at time $t \ s$ is given by $x^2 = 1 + t^2$. Its acceleration in $m/s^2$ at a time $t \ s$ is

$A$ particle is moving in one dimension (along $x$-axis) under the action of a variable force. Its initial position was $16 \,m$ right of the origin. The variation of its position $(x)$ with time $(t)$ is given as $x = -3t^3 + 18t^2 + 16t$,where $x$ is in $m$ and $t$ is in $s$. The velocity of the particle when its acceleration becomes zero is . . . . . . $m/s$.

Draw the $x-t$ graphs for positive,negative,and zero acceleration.
