The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the acceleration produced when a constant force acts on an object moving in one direction and then causes it to move in the opposite direction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial and Final Velocities**: - The initial velocity \( u = 10 \, \text{m/s} \) (in one direction). - The final velocity \( v = -2 \, \text{m/s} \) (in the opposite direction). 2. **Use the Equation of Motion**: The equation of motion we will use is: \[ v = u + at \] where: - \( v \) = final velocity, - \( u \) = initial velocity, - \( a \) = acceleration, - \( t \) = time. 3. **Substitute the Known Values**: We know: - \( u = 10 \, \text{m/s} \), - \( v = -2 \, \text{m/s} \), - \( t = 4 \, \text{s} \). Substituting these values into the equation gives: \[ -2 = 10 + a \cdot 4 \] 4. **Rearrange the Equation**: Rearranging the equation to solve for \( a \): \[ -2 - 10 = 4a \] \[ -12 = 4a \] 5. **Solve for Acceleration \( a \)**: Dividing both sides by 4: \[ a = \frac{-12}{4} = -3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] 6. **Interpret the Result**: The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is in the opposite direction to the initial velocity, which means it is a retardation. ### Final Answer: The acceleration produced is \( -3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). ---
