Question
Diagram is given below shows velocity – time graph of car P and Q, starting from the same place and in the same direction. Calculate the Acceleration of car Q between 2 s – 5 s.
Solution
Acceleration of car Q between 2 s − 5 s = +Slope of v-t graph (CD) for car Q
= `"DE"/"CE"=25/(5-2)=25/3` = 8.33 ms−2
