The velocity of an object changes from 5...

The velocity of an object changes from 50 m/s to 60 m/s in 20 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the object over that interval?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`"Average acceleration"=("Change in velocity")/("Time in which the change occurred")`
`=(60-50)/(20)=(10)/(20)=0.5m//s^(2)`

The velocity of an object increases at a constant rate from 20 m s^(-1) to 50 m s^(-1) in 10 s. Find the acceleration.

Assertion: The magnitude of average velocity of the object over an interval of time is either smaller than or equal to the average speed of the object over the same interval. Reason: Path length (distance) is either equal or greater than the magnitude of displacement.

If the velocity of an object is increasing and changing at a uniform rate then the acceleration of the object is:
