A cart changes its speed from rest to 100 m/s in 1 s. During this interval its acceleration is
Solution :-
Given :-
Speed – 100 m/s
Time – 1 s
Then calculate acceleration ,
Therefore the formula for acceleration is given by
Acceleration = Velocity / time
And unit of the acceleration is m/s2
But , in this problem the given value is speed and time so in conceptually the formula for acceleration is
acceleration = Speed / time
unit of speed is – meter/second (m/s) & unit of time is second (s)
Now calculate acceleration by using formula and given value ,
A = s / t
t = time
S = speed
A = acceleration
A = (100)m/s / 1 s
A = 100 m/s2
The acceleration is 100 m/s2
