A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?
- 4 m/s²Correct
- 5 m/s²
- 10 m/s²
- 2 m/s²
Solution
Acceleration = change in velocity / time = (20 − 0) / 5 = 4 m/s².

Solution
Acceleration = change in velocity / time = (20 − 0) / 5 = 4 m/s².
Mathematics · solved example
If x² − 5x + 6 = 0, what is the sum of the roots?
Solution
For ax² + bx + c = 0, sum of roots = −b/a. Here −(−5)/1 = 5. The roots are 2 and 3, which also sum to 5.
