Question

A body starting from rest travel with uniform acceleration.If it travel 100m in 5s what is the value of acceleration? From brainly

Answer 1

Let the acceleration be a.

Distance traveled by a body (s) = 100 m

Time taken (t) = 5 s

Initial velocity = 0

Using second equation of motion,

$\( 100 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times a \times 5^2\)$

$\( a = \frac{100 \times 2}{25}\)$

a = 8 $\(\frac{m}{s^2}\)$

Hence, the acceleration of the body = 8 $\(\frac{m}{s^2}\)$
