उत्तर
Initial velocity of motor bike = u = 90 kmh−1
= u = `90xx5/18` ms−1 = 25 ms−1
Final velocity of motor bike = v = 18 kmh−1
v = `18xx5/18` ms−1 = 5 ms−1
Time = t = 2.5 s
(i) Acceleration = a = ?
v = u + at
5 = 25 + a (2.5)
2.5a = −25 + 5 = −20
a = `(-20)/2.5` = −8 ms−2
(ii) Distance covered S =?
v2 − u2 = 2aS
(5)2 − (25)2 = 2(−8)S
25 − 625 = −16S
−16S = −600
S = `600/16`
S = 37.5 m
