Average Acceleration

The v-t graph for a particle moving along x-axis is shown in the figure, find (a) Average velocity in the interval 0 to 8 s. (b) Average speed in the interval 0 to 8 s. (c) Average acceleration in the interval 0 to 4 s. (d) Instantaneous acceleration at t = 2.5 s.

A particle is moving in a circular path of radius r with constant speed v . At a particular instant particle is at point A and then it reaches a point B which is diametrically opposite to point A . Average acceleration during this interval is .

For a body in circular motion with a constant angular velocity, the magnitude of the average acceleration over a period of half a revolution is how many times the magnitude of its instantaneous acceleration?

A particle starting from rest has a constant acceleration of 4 m//s^2 for 4 s. It then retards uniformly for next 8 s and comes to rest. Find during the motion of particle (a) average acceleration (b) average speed and (c) average velocity.

A particle starts moving from rest at t=0 with a tangential acceleration of constant magnitude of pi m//s^(2) along a circle of radius 6 m. The value of average acceleration, average velocity and average speed during the first 2 sqrt(3) s of motion, are respectively :

A particle describes an angle theta in a circular path with a constant speed v . Find the a charge in the velocity of the particle and b average acceleration of the particle during the motion in the curve (circle). .

A particle is moving eastwards with a speed of 6 m/s. After 6 s, the particle is found to be moving with same speed in a direction 60^(@) north of east. The magnitude of average acceleration in this interval of time is
