Q43 / 46 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Motion In One Dimension

An athlete, initially at rest, takes 2 s to reach his maximum speed of 36 km h-1. The magnitude of his average acceleration (in m s-2) is

Correct answer: 5

Solution

The final speed of the athlete, v=36 km h-1=36×518=10 m s-1

initial speed, u=0

time taken t=2 s

for average acceleration, a

v=u+at

a=v-ut=10-02=5 m s-2

Hence, the correct answer is 5.
