A car decelerates uniformly from 25m/s to rest over a distance of 62.5m. What is the deceleration?

Use v2=v02+2ax. Here, v=0, v0=25m/s, x=62.5m. 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 62.5 m as the result, so option A is correct.

A body accelerates uniformly from rest to 22m/s over a distance of 121m. What is the acceleration?

Use v2=v02+2ax. Here, v0=0, v=22m/s, x=121m. 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 2 m/s² as the result, so option C is correct.
