speed 60km/hr. Find the average speed of the car.
19. A body starts rolling over a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 0.5m/s. Due to friction, its
velocity decreases at the rate of 0.05 m/s2. How much time will it take for the body to stop?
20. A car traveling at 36km/hr speeds upto 70km/hr in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration? If the same
car stops in 20s, what is the retardation?
21. A scooter acquires a velocity of 36 km/hr in 10 seconds just after the start. It takes 20 seconds to stop.
Calculate the acceleration in the two cases.
