INTRODUCTION
In the last chapter, we have discussed the motion under constant acceleration, i.e., the rate of change of velocity was constant. But in actual practice, it is seldom possible, that a body may move with a uniform velocity or uniform acceleration, at all times. A body, which does not move with a uniform acceleration, is said to be moving with a non-uniform or variable acceleration.
In this chapter, we shall discuss the motion under variable acceleration.
VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION AT ANY INSTANT
METHODS FOR VELOCITY, ACCELERATION AND DISPLACEMENT FROM A MATHEMATICAL EQUATION
The velocity, acceleration and displacement of a body, from a mathematical expression, may be found out by either of the following two methods :
1. By differentiations and
2. By integration.
VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION BY DIFFERENTIATION
VELOCITY AND DISPLACEMENT BY INTEGRATION
