a car accelerates from the rest at a constant rate "u" for some time after which it deccelerates at a constant rate "b" to come to rest if the total time of journey us t then the max velocity aquired by the car is given by (ub/b+u)t how??

i have a small doubt can anyone define charge

astronautameya

charge is just like length, mass, temperature,and luminiscence, just another fundamental quantity.

it states the presence (or absence) of elctrons on a body...........

in the meanwhile i am thinkin abt ur other problem

snandkeolyar

case 1
initial velocity=0
time=t'
acceleration=u
therefore,v'(maximum velocity)=0+ut'=ut'
=>t'=v'/u ------------------(1)

case 2
initial velocity=v'
accleration=-b
final velocity=0
time=t"
therefore,0=v'+(-b)t"
=>t"=v'/b ---------------------(2)

now total time=t
therefore t'+t"=t
=>(v'/u)+(v'/b)=t
=>t=v'(b+u)/ub
=>v'=(ub/b+u)t

pls rate if it helps you.

mass amount of matter contained in a body
temp degreeof hotness or coldness of a body
like that define charge

as defined on wikipedia----------hope it helps you
Electric charge is a fundamental conserved property of some subatomic particles, which determines their electromagnetic interaction. Electrically charged matter is influenced by, and produces, electromagnetic fields. The interaction between a moving charge and an electromagnetic field is the source of the electromagnetic force, which is one of the four fundamental forces.

Electric charge is a characteristic of some subatomic particles, and is quantized when expressed as a multiple of the so-called elementary charge e. Electrons by convention have a charge of -1, while protons have the opposite charge of +1. Quarks have a fractional charge of ?1/3 or +2/3. The antiparticle equivalents of these have the opposite charge. There are other charged particles.

In general, same-sign charged particles repel one another, while different-sign charged particles attract. This is expressed quantitatively in Coulomb's law, which states the magnitude of the repelling force is proportional to the product of the two charges, and weakens proportionately to the square of the distance.

The electric charge of a macroscopic object is the sum of the electric charges of its constituent particles. Often, the net electric charge is zero, since naturally the number of electrons in every atom is equal to the number of the protons, so their charges cancel out. Situations in which the net charge is non-zero are often referred to as static electricity. Furthermore, even when the net charge is zero, it can be distributed non-uniformly (e.g., due to an external electric field), and then the material is said to be polarized, and the charge related to the polarization is known as bound charge (while the excess charge brought from outside is called free charge). An ordered motion of charged particles in a particular direction (in metals, these are the electrons) is known as electric current. The discrete nature of electric charge was proposed by Michael Faraday in his electrolysis experiments, then directly demonstrated by Robert Millikan in his oil-drop experiment.

The SI unit for quantity of electricity or electric charge is the coulomb, which represents approximately 6.24 × 1018 elementary charges (the charge on a single electron or proton). The coulomb is defined as the quantity of charge that has passed through the cross-section of an electrical conductor carrying one ampere within one second. The symbol Q is often used to denote a quantity of electricity or charge. The quantity of electric charge can be directly measured with an electrometer, or indirectly measured with a ballistic galvanometer.

Formally, a measure of charge should be a multiple of the elementary charge e (charge is quantized), but since it is an average, macroscopic quantity, many orders of magnitude larger than a single elementary charge, it can effectively take on any real value. Furthermore, in some contexts it is meaningful to speak of fractions of a charge; e.g. in the charging of a capacitor

the 2nd part is easy as well

assume time t1 for acceleration u
velocity attained is u* t1
now the decceleration b acts for time(t-t1) and brings speed to 0.

so,
v1= u t1 (1)
v1= b(t-t1) (2)

substite value for t1 from (2) in (1)_

you get the answer

rate if satisfied
