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

    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?

    Two negative charges of a unit magnitude and a positive charge q are placed along a straight line. At what position and value of q will the system be in equilibrium? (Negative charges are fixed).

    Assertion : Distance-time graph of the motion of a body having uniformly accelerated motion is a straight line inclined to the time axis. Reason : Distance travelled by a body having uniformly accelerated motion is directly proportional to the square of the time taken.
