Question
A car accelerates uniformly from a velocity of 18 km/h to 36 km/h in 15 min. What is its acceleration?
Advertisements
Solution
Initial velocity of car u = 18 km/hr.
Final velocity of car v= 36 km/hr.
Time taken by body = 15 min. = 1/4 hr
Acceleration of car a = ( v- u )/t = (36 - 18 ) X 4 = 72 kmh-2.
