Stop and go traffic means a lot of opportunities for acceleration. This assignment looks at a typical experience of a car in typical
rush hour traffic. Calculate the different accelerations from the graph, interpret what your answers mean and show you really
understand acceleration.
A car traveled through rush hour traffic in a city. There was a lot of starting and stopping. The graph below shows the motion of
the car for a 16 second interval of time.

Explain why a Merry-Go-Round and a Ferris Wheel have a constant acceleration when they are moving?
You must answer using at least two complete sentences and vocabulary words from this lesson.

Q.1 Calculate the different accelerations from the graph

At initial point (let O) the velocity was 0 m/s to reach point A when the velocity was 5 m/s it took nearly 3 seconds as we all know that acceleration is nothing but the change in velocity per unit time

[tex]a \: = \frac{dv}{t} [/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{5 - 0}{3} = \frac{5}{3} \: m/ {s}^{2} [/tex]

Similarly from point A to point B the acceleration was

[tex]a = \frac{dv}{t} = \frac{7 - 5}{3} = \frac{2}{3} m/s²[/tex]

From Point B to C the velocity was constant so the acceleration at that point would be zero.

in the same way we can calculate acceleration for rest other points.

Q.2 Explain why a Merry-Go-Round and a Ferris Wheel have a constant acceleration when they are moving?

We all know that Velocity is nothing but the speed with direction. Merry Go Round and a Ferris Wheel has constant speed but dynamic direction due to which the magnitude of velocity at every point differs with different sign hence it have a constant acceleration.
