Asked in GIKI Mock Test 1Moderate

A particle executing one dimensional motion finally comes to rest what will be angle between acceleration and displacement during motion?

Correct answer: D. Π

  • A. 0
  • B. Π/4
  • C. Π/2
  • D. Π

Explanation

a = v/tθ = cos-1Using dot product s . a = - s . a (Concept of parallel and anti parallel)θ = cos-1θ = cos-1 (s . a = - 1)Hence answer is 180 or Π

About Acceleration

Acceleration measures the rate at which velocity changes with time, including changes in speed, direction or both. Work includes average and instantaneous acceleration, the relation a = Δv/Δt, uniform acceleration equations, and interpreting velocity time and displacement time graphs, with acceleration carefully distinguished from velocity.
