The velocity-time graphs are inclined at 30° and 45° with the time axis. What is the ratio of their acceleration?
Correct answer: B. 3:1//incorrect
- A. 3:2(b) 3:1
- B. 3:1//incorrect
- C. 1:3
- D. none
Explanation
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration. The tangent of the angle of inclination gives the ratio of accelerations. So, if the angles are 30° and 45°, the ratio of accelerations would be tan(30°):tan(45°)=3 :1.Incorrect Options Explanation:(a) 3:23 :2: This is not the correct ratio for the given angles.(c) 1:31:3 : This ratio is the reciprocal of the correct ratio.(d) none: There is a defined ratio of accelerations based on the given angles.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
