Question

A body accelerates uniformly from rest to 24m/s over a distance of 72m. What is the acceleration?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Use v2=v02+2ax. Here, v0=0, v=24m/s, x=72m. 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 3 m/s² as the result, so option C is correct.
