Define instantaneous acceleration.

Expert Answer:
Instantaneous Acceleration- When an object is moving with variable acceleration, then acceleration of the object at any instant of time is called instantaneous acceleration. It may be also defined as the limiting value of average acceleration over an interval of time, which approaches to zero.
Instantaneous Acceleration =

- Formula to find distance travelled by an uniformly accelerated body is
- The distance x covered by a body moving in a straight line in time t is given by the relation- 2x²+3x=t If v is the velocity of body at a certain instance of time, find it's acceleration.
- eg. v = 2x ; assume t = 0 ; x = 2 m ; find a(t)?
- The velocity of the particle is given by v = 4t2 + 7 cm/s. Find the velocity of the particle during the time interval t1 = 2s and t2 = 4s also find the average acceleration during the same interval of time.
- The displacement of a particle along x-axis is given by x = 4 + 6t + 5t2. Obtain its velocity and acceleration at t = 2s.
- What does the slope of a line on velocity-time graph reveals about the acceleration of the object?
- Give any three information about the motion of an object with help of given figure.
- What does this graph indicate about the motion of an object?
- A particle starts with an initial velocity 2 m/s along the positive x direction and it accelerates uniformly at the rate 1m/s2. Find the following: (a) Distance traveled by it in the first two seconds (b) How much time it take to reach the velocity of 5 m/s (c) How much distance will it cover in reaching the velocity 5 m/s
