A car moving at 12m/s decelerates uniformly to rest in 3s. What is the distance covered?
Find a=v−v0t=0−123=−4m/s2. 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 18 m as the result, so option C is correct.
