प्रश्न
Read the statement below carefully and state, with reason and example, if it is true or false:
A particle in one-dimensional motion with constant speed must have zero acceleration.
पर्याय
True
False
उत्तर
This statement is True.
Explanation:
A car moving on a straight highway with constant speed will have constant velocity. Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, the acceleration of the car is also zero.

Read the statement below carefully and state, with reason and example, if it is true or false:
A particle in one-dimensional motion with positive value of acceleration must be speeding up.
On a long horizontally moving belt (Fig. 3.26), a child runs to and fro with a speed 9 km h–1 (with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located 50 m apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of 4 km h–1. For an observer on a stationary platform outside, what is the
(a) speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt ?.
(b) speed of the child running opposite to the direction of motion of the belt ?
(c) time taken by the child in (a) and (b) ?
Which of the answers alter if motion is viewed by one of the parents?
Give example where the velocity is opposite in direction to the acceleration.
Give example where the velocity is perpendicular to the acceleration.
A stone is released from an elevator going up with an acceleration a. The acceleration of the stone after the release is
The accelerations of a particle as seen from two frames S1 and S2 have equal magnitude 4 m/s2.
An object having a velocity 4.0 m/s is accelerated at the rate of 1.2 m/s2 for 5.0 s. Find the distance travelled during the period of acceleration.
A lift is coming from 8th floor and is just about to reach 4th floor. Taking ground floor as origin and positive direction upwards for all quantities, which one of the following is correct?
A graph of x versus t is shown in figure. Choose correct alternatives from below.
- The particle was released from rest at t = 0.
- At B, the acceleration a > 0.
- At C, the velocity and the acceleration vanish.
- Average velocity for the motion between A and D is positive.
- The speed at D exceeds that at E.
An object falling through a fluid is observed to have acceleration given by a = g – bv where g = gravitational acceleration and b is constant. After a long time of release, it is observed to fall with constant speed. What must be the value of constant speed?
