2.Motion in Straight Line
easy

A motor car moving with a uniform speed of $20\,m/\sec $ comes to stop on the application of brakes after travelling a distance of $10\,m$ Its acceleration is..........$m/{\sec ^2}$

A$20$
B$ - 20$
C$ - 40$
D$ + 2$

Solution

(b) From ${v^2} = {u^2} + 2aS$
$⇒$ $0 = {u^2} + 2aS$
$⇒$ $a = \frac{{ – {u^2}}}{{2S}} = \frac{{ – {{(20)}^2}}}{{2 \times 10}} = – 20m/{s^2}$
