During an experiment, a signal from a spaceship reached
1 the ground station in five minutes. What was the distance
of the spaceship from the ground station? The signal travels
at the speed of light, that is, 3 × 108 m s–1.
Given : Time (t) = 5 min
= 5 × 60
v = 3 × 108 ms–1
= 300 s
Speed of the signal = 3 × 108 m s–1
To find : Distance = ? t = 5 min

A train starting from a railway station and moving with
2 uniform acceleration attains a speed 40 km h–1 in 10 minutes.
Find its acceleration.
Ans. (i) -If an object travels in a straight line and its velocity increases
or decreases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time, then
the body is said to be in uniform acceleration.
-For example, the motion of a freely falling body.
(ii) -If an object travels in a straight line and its velocity changes by
unequal amounts in equal intervals of time, then the body is said to be
in non-uniform acceleration.
-For example, if a car is travelling along a straight road and passes
through a crowd, suffers unequal change in velocity, in equal intervals
of time, so the car is moving with non-uniform acceleration.
