Question

A particle starts with initial velocity 10 m/s, it covers a distance of 20 m along a straight line in two seconds. What is the acceleration of the particle?
Options
A zero
Correct Answer
B 1 m/s²
C 10 m/s²
D 20 m/s²
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Using s = ut + ½at²: 20 = 10×2 + ½a×4 = 20 + 2a → 20 = 20 + 2a → 2a = 0 → a = 0.

Hint

Use s = ut + ½at².
