A body starts from rest and acquires a velocity 10 m `s^(-1)` in 2 s. Find the acceleration.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Initial velocity = 0
Final velocity = `10 "m s"^(-1)`
Time taken = 2s
Change in velocity = Final velocity - Initial velocity
= 10 - 0
`=10 "m s"^(-1)`
Acceleration = Change in velocity/time
=(10/2) `"ms"^(-2)`
= `"5 ms"^(-2)`
