What are positive and negative acceleration in straight line motion?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand positive and negative acceleration in straight line motion, we can break it down into a few steps: ### Step 1: Understand Acceleration Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity over time. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \] where \( a \) is acceleration, \( \Delta v \) is the change in velocity, and \( \Delta t \) is the change in time. ...

Motion Along Straight Line

Assertion : The displacement-time graph of a body moving with uniform acceleration is a straight line. Reason : The displacement is proportional to time for uniformly accelerated motion.

The position of a particle moving on a straight line is proportional to the cube of the time elapsed. How does the acceleration of the particle depend on time elapsed?
