2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
If the velocity $v$ of a particle moving along a straight line decreases linearly with its displacement $s$ from $20\,ms ^{-1}$ to a value approaching zero at $s=30\,m$, then acceleration of the particle at $s=15\,m$ is $........$
A
$\frac{2}{3}\,ms ^{-2}$
B
$-\frac{2}{3}\,ms ^{-2}$
C
$\frac{20}{3}\,ms ^{-2}$
D
$-\frac{20}{3}\,ms ^{-2}$
Solution
(d)
$a=v\left(\frac{d v}{d s}\right)=(10)\left(-\frac{20}{30}\right)=-\frac{20}{3}\,m / s ^2$
