    The velocity versus time curve of a moving point is as given in the figure. The maximum acceleration is:

    A)  \[1\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]                                               

    B)  \[4m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[2\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]                                               

    D)  \[1.5\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Rate of change of velocity gives acceleration. In this case the variation of v-t graph gives acceleration, which is maximum where the slope of curve is minimum. It is the region CD. \[\therefore \]Slope at CD = maximum acceleration                 \[=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{{{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}}}{{{t}_{2}}-{{t}_{1}}}\]                 \[=\frac{60-20}{40-30}=\frac{4}{1}\]
