उत्तर
Given:
-
Initial velocity, u = 20 m/s
-
Final velocity, v = 0 m/s (since train comes to rest)
-
Time, t = 5 s
0 = 20 + a × 5
0 = 20 + 5a
5a = −20
a = −4m/s2
Retardation = 4 m/s2

Define acceleration. State its unit.
A vehicle is accelerating on a straight road. Its velocity at any instant is 30 km/h. After 2 s, it is 33.6 km/h, and after further 2 s, it is 37.2 km/h. Find the acceleration of the vehicle in m s-2. Is the acceleration uniform?
The change in velocity of a motorbike is 54 kmh−1 in one minute. Calculate its acceleration in (a) ms−2 (b) kmh−2.
