उत्तर
Given :
Initial velocity of the car (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity of the car (v) = 20 m/s
time taken = 10s
Acceleration = ?
Formula:
Acceleration = \(\frac {20– 0}{10}\) = \(\frac {20}{10}\)
Acceleration of the car = 2 m/s2

Acceleration can get negative value also.
Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction or both of them.
Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in magnitude of the velocity. It does not depend the direction.
