Q4 of 89 Page 48

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 20 m/s. Draw a graph showing the velocity of the ball as a function of time as it goes up and then comes back.

The equation for the ball thrown vertically upward with initial velocity is given by



Where; (Since, acceleration is vertically downward and is equal to gravitational acceleration) and. The above equation is plotted below

A car travels at a speed of 60 km/hr due north and the other at a speed of 60 km/hr due east. Are the velocities equal? If no, which one is greater? If you find any of the questions irrelevant, explain.

 5

The velocity of a particle is towards west at an instant. Its acceleration is not towards west, not towards east, not towards north and not towards south, Give an example of this type of motion.
