Practice question
Question
A car moving at 20m/s decelerates uniformly and stops after traveling 50m. What is the deceleration?
Explanation
Use v2=v02+2ax. Here, v=0, v0=20m/s, x=50m. 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.
