Step-by-step explanation::
a) Consider a body having initial velocity 'u'. Suppose it is subjected to a uniform acceleration 'a' so that after time 't' its final velocity becomes 'v'. Now, from the definition of acceleration we know that:
Acceleration = Time taken Change in velocity or Acceleration = time taken
Final velocity- Initial velocity
So, a= t v−u
at=v−u and, v=u + at
where v= final velocity of the body
u= initial velocity of the body
a= acceleration
and t= time taken
(b) Initial velocity, u=54km/h=15m/s
Final velocity, v=0m/s
Time, t=8s
Acceleration, a=?
a= t v−u
= 8 0−15
= 8 −15 m/s 2
=−1.875m/s 2
