- Positive acceleration throughout
- Positive acceleration first and then negative acceleration
- Negative acceleration first and then positive acceleration
- Negative acceleration throughout
Hint:
If the direction of the acceleration is same as the direction of velocity, then the acceleration will be positive and vice versa.
The correct answer is: Negative acceleration first and then positive acceleration
Until 11.25 the velocity of car was decreasing which means the direction of acceleration was opposite to the direction of velocity and then after 11.25 car was speeding up which means acceleration and velocity will be in same direction. Hence the car was moving with negative acceleration first and then positive acceleration.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
