Question
A ship was moving at a speed of 500 ms1 and it attained speed of 600 ms1 in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the ship?
Options:
A .  20 ms−2
B .  30 ms−2
C .  10 ms−2
D .  50 ms−2
Answer: Option A
:
A
Given, initial velocity, u=500ms1, final velocity, v=600ms1 and time taken, t = 5 s
Let acceleration be 'a'.
From first equation of motion,
v = u + at
600=500+a×5
a=6005005 = 20ms2
