An auto travelling along a straight road increases its speed from 30.0 m s -1 to 50.0 m s -1 in a distance of 180 m. If the acceleration is constant, how much time elapses while the auto moves this distance?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Lat a be constant accelerations of auto
Here, u
v =
, S = 180 m
As 

(2500)-(900) = 

As 





Solving this quadratic by quadratic formula, we get

t can’t be negative
