Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An object moving at 30 m/s takes 5 s to come to a stop. What is the object’s acceleration?
A
30 m/s2
B
-30 m/s2
C
-6 m/s2
D
6 m/s2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1 Answer. The object’s acceleration is-6 m/s2 .

Detailed explanation-2: -Ignoring air resistance, it will be g (acceleration due to gravity), 9.81 m/s2 (this is constant whether the ball has fallen for 5 s or 2 s).

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the acceleration of car is 0.33 m/s².

Detailed explanation-4: -Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (v) over the change in time (t), represented by the equation a = v/t.

Detailed explanation-5: -After 5 sec, velocity of the particle is 20 m/s.
