The distance-time graph for motion of Ram and Shyam is shown below. Which of them has greater acceleration? Justify your answer
Answers
Answer: Shyam
Explanation:
Acceleration = rate of change of velocity / total time taken
The slope of a distance time graph gives speed or velocity
The answer is Shyam as he has a steeper slope when compared to Ram
Shyam undergoes a greater change in velocity so he has greater acceleration.
Hope this answer helped
Answer:The answer is that neither of them have acceleration
Explanation: This is a distance time graph and as said in the question we have to find acceleration. But both the motions of Ram and Shyam is shown in a straight line, and in a distance time graph, a straight line means the body is in uniform motion, and when a body is in uniform motion it has 0 acceleration. Thus neither Shyam nor Ram is accelerating. This is also the correct answer as per NCERT Exampler
