The graph of position $x$ versus time $t$ represents the motion of a particle. The curve is a parabola opening upwards. If the equation of motion is given by $x = a + bt - ct^2$ where $b$ and $c$ are positive constants,which of the following expressions best describes the acceleration $a_{acc}$ of the particle?

  • A
    $a_{acc} = b - ct$
  • B
    $a_{acc} = +b$
  • C
    $a_{acc} = -2c$
  • D
    $a_{acc} = b + ct$

If the speed of a moving object decreases,what are the directions of its velocity and acceleration?

The velocity of a particle is given by the equation $v(x) = 3x^2 - 4x$,where $x$ is the distance covered by the particle. The expression for its acceleration is

$A$ particle is moving with constant acceleration,whose direction is the same as that of its instantaneous motion. The distance $(s)-$velocity $(v)$ graph for the particle is:

Will the acceleration increase or decrease with an increase in velocity?

$A$ particle moves along a straight line such that its displacement at any time $t$ is given by $s = (t^3 - 3t^2 + 2) \, m$. The displacement when the acceleration becomes zero is ........ $m$.
