Question

What is the acceleration of a van that starts from rest and attains a velocity of $20m/s$ in $25$ seconds?

• A. 2 m/s²
• B. 0.8 m/s²
• C. 7.5 m/s²
• D. 4 m/s²

Answer 1

The correct option is B

0.8 m/s²

Given Velocity = $20m/s$

Time taken = $25s$

$v=u+at$

$\text{Here,}$

$u=0,v=20m/s,t=25s$

$\therefore 20=0+a\times 25$

$\Rightarrow a=\frac{20}{25}$ $m/s^2$

$=0.8m/s^2$
