Both of the above

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time,given by $\vec{a} = \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}$.Since velocity $\vec{v}$ is a vector quantity,it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.If the magnitude of velocity changes,the particle undergoes acceleration.If the direction of velocity changes,the particle also undergoes acceleration (e.g.,in uniform circular motion).Therefore,if either the magnitude or the direction of velocity changes,the acceleration of the particle changes.Thus,the correct option is $(c)$.

Column $I$	Column $II$
$(A)$ $\frac{dv}{dt}$	$(p)$ Acceleration
$(B)$ $\frac{d\|v\|}{dt}$	$(q)$ Magnitude of acceleration
$(C)$ $\frac{dr}{dt}$	$(r)$ Velocity
$(D)$ $\left\|\frac{dr}{dt}\right\|$	$(s)$ Magnitude of velocity

$A$ particle is moving in a straight line such that its velocity is increasing at $5\,m/s$ per meter. The acceleration of the particle is .......... $m/s^2$ at a point where its velocity is $20\,m/s$.

Match the following columns.
Column $I$ Column $II$
$(A)$ $\frac{dv}{dt}$ $(p)$ Acceleration
$(B)$ $\frac{d|v|}{dt}$ $(q)$ Magnitude of acceleration
$(C)$ $\frac{dr}{dt}$ $(r)$ Velocity
$(D)$ $\left|\frac{dr}{dt}\right|$ $(s)$ Magnitude of velocity

At any instant,the velocity and acceleration of a particle moving along a straight line are $v$ and $a$. The speed of the particle is increasing if

The velocity of a particle is given as $\vec{v} = -x\hat{i} + 2y\hat{j} - z\hat{k} \text{ m/s}$. The magnitude of acceleration at point $(1, 2, 4)$ is . . . . . . $\text{m/s}^2$.

$A$ particle starts from rest. Its acceleration $a$ versus time $t$ is shown in the figure. The maximum speed of the particle will be (in $m/s$)
