A body is moving vertically upwards. Its velocity changes at a constant rate from 50 m/s to 20 m/s in 3s. What is its acceleration?
Given: u=50m/s; v=20m/s, t=3s
\text { Acceleration }=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{-30}{3}=-10 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}
The negative sign indicates velocity decreases with time, hence retardation is 10m/s^2.
