    Read the following and answer any four questions from [11] to [15].
    A car was travelling at 30 m/s. The driver applies brakes suddenly by seeing a running dog. The velocity-time (v-t) graph and its corresponding table during the time of applying brakes is shown below.
    Velocity-time graph shows how the velocity of a body changes with passage of time. To draw velocity-time graph, velocity of the body is plotted along V-axis and the time taken by the body is plotted along X-axis.
    The area under velocity-time graph gives displacement.
    Time Velocity
    0 (s) 30 m/s
    1 (s) 23.5 m/s
    2 (s) 17 m/s
    3 (s) 11 m/s
    4(s) 5 m/s
    4.8(s) 0
     
    The rate at which the velocity of a car decreases (deceleration) is

    A) 2.25\[{{\operatorname{ms}}^{-2}}\]                 

    B) 6.25\[{{\operatorname{ms}}^{-2}}\]

    C) 7\[{{\operatorname{ms}}^{-2}}\]                     

    D) 7.85\[{{\operatorname{ms}}^{-2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] From given graph, initial velocity,
    u = 30 m/s
    Final velocity, v = 0 m/s
    Time, t = 4.8 s
    As we know, v = u + at
    \[\Rightarrow \]      \[a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-30}{4.8}=6.25\operatorname{m}/{{s}^{2}}\]
    Thus, deceleration is 6.25 \[\operatorname{m}/{{s}^{2}}\].
