Question
A train moves from one station to another in $2$ hours time. Its speed-time graph during this motion is shown in the figure. The maximum acceleration during the journey is.............$km\, h^{-2}$

Answer

(b) Maximum acceleration will be represented by $CD$ part of the graph

Acceleration $ = \frac{{dv}}{{dt}} = \frac{{(60 - 20)}}{{0.25}} = 160\;km/{h^2}$
