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.

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.
