Question

A car decelerates uniformly from 16m/s to rest over a distance of 32m. What is the deceleration?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Use v2=v02+2ax. Here, v=0, v0=16m/s, x=32m. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 4 m/s² as the result, so option B is correct.
