Question

An object P is moving with a constant velocity for 5mins.Another object Q is moving with a changing velocity for 5mins.Out of these two objects , which one has acceleration ? Explain

Answer 1

hey friend ,

first you have to know what is acceleration.

◆ acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

it means that if there is change in velocity then that body have acceleration.

so according to your question .

=) object P moves with constant velocity it means that velocity doesn't change with time so object P has no acceleration.

=) Object Q moves with changing velocity it means that velocity keeps on changing with time so from definition of acceleration we can say that the body with changing velocity have acceleration.

so object Q has acceleration .

hope it will help u

Answer 2

Answer:

Object P is in constant velocity, thus there is no change in the velocity with the change in time. Hence velocity is zero, thus acceleration is also zero. In object Q there is change in the velocity thus acceleration is caused in the object Q. ⚫Object P is moving at a constant velocity.
