Question

What would be the acceleration of a body starting from rest acquires a velocity of 10 m/s-1 in five seconds with a distance of 50?

Answer 1

To find the acceleration of a body, you can use the equation:

$v=u+at$

Where: v = final velocity (10 m/s) u = initial velocity (0 m/s, since the body starts from rest) a = acceleration (unknown) t = time (5 seconds)

Rearranging the equation to solve for acceleration (a), we have:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Substituting the given values, we get:

$a=\frac{10\text{m/s}-0\text{m/s}}{5\text{s}}$

$a=\frac{10\text{m/s}}{5\text{s}}$

$a=2{\text{m/s}}^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the body is 2 m/s².
