CASE STUDY
When an object moves along a straight line with uniform acceleration, it is
possible to relate its velocity, acceleration during motion and the distance covered
by it in a certain time interval by a set of equations known as the equations of
motion. For convenience, a set of three such equations are given below:
v = u + at s = ut + ½ at2 2a s = v2 – u2
Where u is the initial velocity of the object which moves with uniform acceleration
a for Time t, v is the final velocity and s is the distance travelled by the object in
time t.

a) uniform acceleration
b) non uniform acceleration
c) constant velocity
d) none of these

3) Can path length be zero for motion of body from one point to other point?
a) Yes
b) No
