(a) Explain the terms:- uniform acceleration and average speed.

(b) A body at rest is given an initial uniform acceleration of 8.0ms\(^{-2}\) for 30s after which the acceleration is reduced to 5.0ms\(^{-2}\) for the next 20s. The body maintains the speed attained for 60s after which it is brought to rest in 20s. Draw the velocity-time graph of the motion using the information given above.

(c) Using the graph, calculate the: (i) maximum speed attained during the motion; (ii) average retardation as the body is being brought to rest; (iii) total distance travelled during the first 50s; (iv) average speed during the same interval as in (ii).

An electron of mass 9.1 x 10\(^{-31}\) kg moves with a speed of 2.0 x 10\(^6\) ms\(^{-1}\) round the nucleus of an atom in a Circular path of radius 6.1 x 10(^{11}\) m. Determine the angular speed of the electron.

  • A. 3.28 x 10\(^{16}\) rad s\(^{-1}\)
  • B. 8.55 x 10\(^{3}\) rad s\(^{-1}\)
  • C. 9.11 x 10\(^{13}\) rad s\(^{-1}\)
  • D. 5.22 x 10\(^{15}\) rad s\(^{-1}\)
