Question

a body is moving with a velocity of 15m/s and it comes to rest in 20m/s, what was the acceleration

Open in App

Solution

v2 - u2 = 2aS

S = 20m
v= 0 m/s
u = 15 m/s

(0)^2 - (15)^2 = 2 a 20

-225/40 = a

a = -5.625 m/s2

answer is negative since retardation is happening here

Q. A body having velocity of 20 m/s towards +ve x-axis collides with a body initially moving with 10 m/s in -ve x-axis direction. If the collision is elastic and the first body is now moving with a velocity of 15 m/s towards -ve x-axis. What is the final velocity of the second body?

Q. A body starts from rest and moves along a straight line. It is uniformly accelerated at a rate of 2 m/s' for lOs. For next 20 sec., the body moves with uniform velocity.Then a negative acceleration of 2 m/s acts on the body till the body comes to rest again. Draw velocity-time graph for entire motion.
