A car starts from rest at velocity 10m/s in 40secs. The driver applies a breakand slows down to 5m/s in 10secs. Find the acceleration in both the cases
Answers
we Need calculate the acceleration in first case
Initial velocity ,u = 0m/s
Final velocity ,v = 10m/s
Time taken ,t = 40 s
now we need to defined as the rate of change in velocity
A=v-u/t
a denote acceleration
v denote final velocity
u denote initial velocity
t denote time taken
Substitute the value we get
:⟹ a₁ = 10-0/40
:⟹ a₁ = 10/40
:⟹ a₁ = 1/4
:⟹ a₁ = 0.25 m/s²
Hence, the acceleration of the car is 0.25m/s²
Initial velocity ,u = 10m/s
Final velocity ,v = 5m/s
Time taken ,t = 10s
Now, calculating the acceleration in 2nd case .
• a₂ = v-u/t
Substitute the value we get
:⟹ a₂ = 5-10/10
:⟹ a₂ = -5/10
:⟹ a₂ = -0.5 m/s²
Here, negative sign show retardation
Hence, the acceleration in 2nd case is 0.5m/s².
