Question

a body moves with a velocity of 10m/s for 20 seconds then its velocity increases uniformly to 25 m/s in the next 10 seconds . Therefore its velocity decreases at a uniform rate until it comes to rest after 10 seconds. make a graph for this please it's urgent ​

Answer 1

The body moves from A to B at velocity 2 m/s for 5 s, then it accelerates, from B to C, for 5 s and attains a velocity 10 m/s. Finally, it comes to rest in 10 s at a constant retardation, from C to D.

2.

A to B is uniform motion.

B to C and C to D is non-uniform motion.

3.

Distance travelled in 2 s

From the graph, the distance travelled in 2 s is = ut = 2 × 2 = 4 m ……………(1)

Distance travelled in 12 s

Distance travelled in 5 s = ut = 2 × 5 = 10 m ………………..(2)

In the next 5 s the acceleration is, a = (v-u)/t = (10-2)/5 = 1.6 m/s2

Distance travelled in this 5 s is, S = ut + ½ at2

=> S = 2 × 5 + 0.5 × 1.6 × 52

=> S = 30 m …………………(3)

After that the body starts slowing down. The acceleration now is = (0-10)/10 = -1 m/s2 (negative sign indicates deceleration)

So, distance travelled in 2 s during the slowing down, S = ut + ½ at2

=> S = 10 × 2 – 0.5 × 1 × 22

=> S = 18 m ……………………(4)

So, total distance covered in 12 s is = 10+30+18 = 58 m

Distance travelled in 20 s

Distance travelled in 20 s is equal to (2)+(3)+total distance travelled during the slowing down.

Total distance travelled during the slowing down can be found using,

v2 = u2 + 2aS

=> 0 = 102 – 2 × 1 × S

=> S = 50 m

So, total distance travelled in 20 s = 10+30+50 = 90 m
