Question 41 Mark
Fill in the blanks. A bus starting from rest attains a velocity of $54km/h$ in $60s$, its acceleration is _____.
Answer
A bus starting from rest attains a velocity of $54\ km/h$ in $60\ s$, its acceleration is $0.25m/s^2.$
Explanation: initial velocity $= 0$ Time $= 60$$secs$ final velocity $= 54\ km/hr$ $=\frac{54\times1000}{30\times60}\text{m/s}=15\text{m/s}$
$\text{Acceleration}=\frac{\text{Change in velocity}}{\text{times taken}}$
$=\frac{\text{final velocity(v)-intial veclocity(u)}}{\text{time taken(t)}}$
$=\frac{15\frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}-0}{60\text{secs}}=0.25\text{m/s}^{2}$

Question 61 Mark
Acceleration is calculated from $v - t$ graph while is area under $v - t$ graph.
Answer
Acceleration is calculated from $v - t$ graph while Displacement is area under $v - t$ graph.
Explanation:
The area under a velocity-time graph is a representation of the displacement. If the area is over a time interval, then the displacement during that time interval can be measured by the area under the graph bounded by the time interval.
Bonus: the slope of a $V - t$ graph is a measure of acceleration.

Question 131 Mark
Angular speed of second hand of a clock is radian per second.
Answer
Angular speed of second hand of a clock is 2 pie radian radian per second.
Explanation:
The angular velocity is independent of the clock size, however for larger clocks the linear velocity of the pointers at the end of the hands will be greater. The second hand goes through $2\pi$ radians in $1$min, or $2\pi$ radian/ $60$ seconds, So, $\omega=\frac{\pi}{30}\text{ rad}.\text{s}^{-1}=0.03\text{ rad.s}^{-1}.$

Question 141 Mark
When $v - t$ graph has negative slopes acceleration is .
Answer
When $v - t$ graph has negative slopes acceleration is Zero.
Explanation:
If the acceleration is zero, then the slope is zero (i.e., a horizontal line). If the acceleration is positive, then the slope is positive (i.e., an upward sloping line). If the acceleration is negative, then the slope is negative.

Question 291 Mark
Fill in the blanks.
A bus starting from rest attains a velocity of 54km/h in 60s, its acceleration is _____.
Answer
A bus starting from rest attains a velocity of 54 km/h in 60 s, its acceleration is 0.25m/s2.
Explanation:
initial velocity = 0
Time = 60secs
final velocity = 54km/hr
$=\frac{54\times1000}{30\times60}\text{m/s}=15\text{m/s}$
 $\text{Acceleration}=\frac{\text{Change in velocity}}{\text{times taken}}$
$=\frac{\text{final velocity(v)-intial veclocity(u)}}{\text{time taken(t)}}$
