Let $v$ and $a$ denote the velocity and acceleration respectively of a particle in one-dimensional motion. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The speed of the particle decreases when $v \cdot a < 0$.
  • B
    The speed of the particle increases when $v \times a > 0$.
  • C
    Both $(a)$ and $(b)$ are correct.

If the velocity of a particle is $(10 + 2t^2) \ m/s$,then the average acceleration of the particle between $2 \ s$ and $5 \ s$ is..........$m/s^2$.

Explain the acceleration.

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

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 $ms^{-1}$)

$A$ body starts from the origin and moves along the $x$-axis such that its position at any instant is $x = 4t^2 - 12t$,where $t$ is in seconds and $x$ is in meters. What is the acceleration of the particle in $m/s^2$?
