Which of the following is not a vector ?
displacement
velocity
acceleration
speed
What conclusion can you draw from the displacement$-$time graph of a body as shown below ?
What determines the direction of motion of an object velocity or acceleration ?
A car is moving on a straight road with uniform acceleration. The following table gives the speed of the car at various instants of time.
Time $(s)$ | $0$ | $10$ | $20$ | $30$ | $40$ | $50$ |
Speed $\left(m s^{-1}\right)$ | $5$ | $10$ | $15$ | $20$ | $25$ | $30$ |
$(i)$ Draw the speed$-$time graph representing the above set of observations.
$(ii)$ Find the acceleration of the car.
The displacement of a body is proportional to the cube of the time lapsed. The magnitude of the acceleration is
Following figure is the speed-time graph for a rocket from the moment when the fuel starts to burn, i.e. at time $t=0$.
$(a)$ State the acceleration of the rocket at $t=0$.
$(b)$ State what happens to the acceleration of the rocket between $t=5 s$ and $t=60 s$.
$(c)$ Calculate the acceleration of rocket at $t=80 s$ Give reason for your answer.
$(d)$ The total mass of the rocket at $t=80\, s$ is $1.6 \times 10^{6}\, kg .$ Calculate the resultant force on the rocket at this time. Give reason for your answer.
