Starting from a stationary position, Rahul paddles his bicycle to attain a velocity of6m/sin30s. Then he applies brakes such that the velocity of the bicycle cones down to4m/sin the next5s. Calculate the acceleration of the bicycle in both the cases.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

truck y has a greater velocity than truck x.
