I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.
Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .
Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:
Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²
On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...
11.2 cm = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
0.112 meter = (4.9 m/s²) (time)²
Divide each side
by 4.9 m/s² : (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²) = time²
(0.112 / 4.9) sec² = time²
Square root
each side: time = √(0.112/4.9 sec²)
= √ 0.5488 sec²
= 0.74 second (rounded)
for acceleration we can define that rate of change in velocity is know as acceleration
So whenever velocity of train is changing with time we can say train is accelerating
Now here if initially train is standstill then after some time its speed is 5 m/s
so here the train is accelerated first time
Then on straight path its speed changed from 5 m/s to 10 m/s so here train gets accelerated second time
After this train chugged around a curve with same speed 10 m/s
SO here since train is moving in curve so here its direction of velocity is continuously changing and this type of acceleration is known as centripetal acceleration
SO this is accelerated Third time
Then its speed decreases and it comes to speed of 5 m/s from 10 m/s
So here it is acceleration of train for Fourth time
Then finally train comes to stop so again its speed changed from 5 m/s to 0
so this is acceleration of train Fifth time
So total train will accelerate 5 times in whole path
ANSWER: D
EXPLAINATION:
All the other answers are alike so this is the only different one
