SPEED
Speed :- Speed of a body is the distance travelled by the body in unit
time.
Speed = Distance
Time
If a body travels a distance s in time t then its speed v is
ei.)
y
The SI unit of speed is metre per second m/s or ms a
Since speed has only magnitude it is a scalar quantity,
Moda Verma | 974° | 10
VELOCITY
The rate of motion of a body is more meaningful if we specify its direction of
motion along with speed. The quantity which specifies both the direction of
motion and speed is velocity
Velocity Velocity of a body is the displacement of the body per unit time
Velocity = Displacement
Time taken
Since velocity has both magnitude and direction, it is a vector quantity
The quantity which specifies changes in velocity is acceleration,
Acceleration :- It is the change in velocity of a body per unit time. ( or
the rate of change of velocity.)
Acceleration = Change in velocity
Time
‚If the velocity of a body changes from initial value u to final value y in
time t, then acceleration à is

DISTANCE TIME
= GRAPH
The change in the position of a body with time can be represented on
the distance time coh In this graph istance is taken on the Y-axis
and time is taken on the X - axis. The distance time graph for uniform
speed is a straight line (linear ).
This is because in uniform speed a body travels equal distances in equal
intervals of time. We can determine the speed of the body from the
distance - time graph.
They are used to find speed or velocity of body.
The slope of it gives speed of body.

a.) If speed increases uniformly
This slope is known as positive slope and slope gives
uniform acceleration,

b,) If speed decreases non uniformly.
u The graph is a curve moving downwards and the slope of
tangent is negative and gives the value of retardation.
