Question
Suggest a suitable physical situation for of the following graphs.
✓
Answer
The given a-t graph reveals that initially the body is moving with a certain uniform velocity. Its acceleration increases for a short interval of time, which again drops to zero. This indicates that the body again starts moving with the same constant velocity. A similar physical situation arises when a hammer moving with a uniform velocity strikes a nail.

A famous relation in physics relates 'moving mass' $m$ to the 'rest mass' $m_0$ of a particle in terms of its speed $v$ and the speed of light, $c$. (This relation first arose as a consequence of special relativity due to Albert Einstein). A boy recalls the relation almost correctly but forgets where to put the constant $c$. He writes :
$
m=\frac{m_0}{\left(1-v^2\right)^{1 / 2}}
$
Guess where to put the missing $c$.
