    To measure the average speed of an object.
  • B
    To describe the motion of an object at a specific instant of time.

The velocity-displacement graph of a particle is shown in the figure. The acceleration-displacement graph of the same particle is represented by:

The area $A$ of a blot of ink is growing such that after $t$ seconds its area is given by $A = (3t^2 + 7) \, cm^2$. Calculate the rate of increase of area at $t = 2 \, s$. .......... $cm^2/s$

Write the definition of instantaneous velocity.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is constrained to move on the $x$-axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example,when the particle is to the left of $E$,$F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is constant except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards the left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t=0$. The velocity-time graph of the particle is:
