Vedclass · Answer

(D) Speed increases when the velocity and acceleration have the same sign. Given that the object has a positive velocity at $t_1$,its speed will increase if the acceleration remains positive throughout the interval from $t_1$ to $t_2$. In graph $I$,the acceleration $a$ is positive and increasing,so the velocity continues to increase,and the speed increases. In graph $II$,the acceleration $a$ is constant and positive,so the velocity increases linearly,and the speed increases. In graph $III$,the acceleration $a$ is positive throughout the interval $[t_1, t_2]$,although it is decreasing. Since $a > 0$,the velocity continues to increase,and therefore the speed increases. Thus,in all three graphs,the acceleration is positive,which means the velocity increases,and consequently,the speed increases for the entire interval.

Each of the three graphs represents acceleration versus time for an object that already has a positive velocity at time $t_1$. Which graphs show an object whose speed is increasing for the entire time interval between $t_1$ and $t_2$?

The acceleration of a particle which moves along the positive $x$-axis varies with its position as shown in the figure. If the velocity of the particle is $0.8 \,ms^{-1}$ at $x=0$, then its velocity at $x=1.4 \,m$ is (in $ms^{-1}$)

An object with a mass $10 \, kg$ moves at a constant velocity of $10 \, m/s$. $A$ constant force then acts for $4 \, s$ on the object and gives it a speed of $2 \, m/s$ in the opposite direction. The acceleration produced in it is ........ $m/s^2$.
