Important Questions on Kinematics I
A drag racer crosses the finish line, and the driver deploys a parachute and applies the brakes to slow down, as the figure illustrates. The driver begins slowing down when and the car's velocity is When the velocity has been reduced to What is the average acceleration of the dragster?

A particle describes an angle in a circular path with a constant speed Find
(a) The change in the velocity of the particle.
(b) Average acceleration of the particle during the motion in the curve (circle).


A particle's position on the axis is given by with in meters and in seconds.
(a) Find the particle's velocity function and acceleration function
(b) Is there ever a time when
(c) Describe the particle's motion for

(a) What is the maximum positive displacement of the particle along the axis and at what instant does it attain it?
(b) Describe the motion of the particle.
(c) What is the distance covered in the first three seconds?
(d) What is its displacement in the first four seconds?
(e) What is the particle's average speed and average velocity in the first seconds?
(f) What is the particles instantaneous acceleration at the instant of its maximum positive displacement?
(g) What is the average acceleration between the interval to

Two cars are moving in the same direction in parallel lanes along a highway. At some instant, the velocity of car exceeds that of car . Does that mean that the acceleration of car is greater than that of car ? Explain.

Say Yes or No.
Can an object moving towards north have acceleration towards south?

Can a body have
Zero instantaneous velocity and yet be accelerating?
