Answer
given,
at time t = 10 s moving from left to right speed of particle = 5 m/s
at t = 20 s moving from right to left speed of particle is = 8 m/s
a) acceleration


a = -1.3 m/s²
b) using equation of motion
v = u + at
5 = u - 1.3 × 10
u = 5 + 13
u = 18 m/s
c) v = u + at
0 = 18 - 1.3t

t = 13.85 s
