Solution

The correct option is A $2 m / s^{2}$
From the given data, $v = 2 t$
Acceleration, $a = \frac{v_{2} - v_{1}}{t_{2} - t_{1}}$
$= \frac{2 (t_{2} - t_{1})}{t_{2} - t_{1}} = 2 m / s^{2}$

Q. A vehicle is moving on a road with an acceleration

a = 20 m / s^{2}

as shown in the figure. The frictional coefficient between the block of mass

m

and the vehicle so that block does not fall downward is (g = 10

m / s^{2}

)

The acceleration- time relationship for a vehicle subjected to non- uniform acceleration is

$\frac{d v}{d t} = (α - β v_{0}) e^{- β t}$

Where, v is the speed in m/s, t is the time in s, $α$ and $β$ are parameters, and $v_{0}$ is the initial speed in m/s. If the accelerating behaviour of a vehicle, whose driver intends to overtake a slow moving vehicle ahead, is described as,

$\frac{d v}{d t} = (α - β v)$

Considering
$α = 2 m / s^{2}, β = 0.05 s^{- 1} and$

$\frac{d v}{d t} = 1.3 m / s^{2} a t t = 3 s$ , the distance (in m) travelled by the vehicle in 35 sec is

Q. A vehicle is moving on a road with an acceleration

Q. A vehicle moving at a speed of 15 m/s is stopped by applying brakes which produce a uniform acceleration of -0.5
