  1. A particle moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration. It changes its velocity from 10 ms–1 to 20 ms–1 while passing through a distance 135 m in t second. The value of t is:
    1. 10
    2. 1.8
    3. 12
    4. 9
Correct Option: D

Initial velocity, u = 10 ms–1
Final velocity, v = 20 ms–1
Distance, s = 135 m
Let, acceleration = a
Using the formula, v² = u² + 2as

a =
v² - u²
2s

=
(20)² - (10)²
=
400 - 100
2 × 1352 × 135

a =
300
=
150
=
10
ms-2
2 × 1351359

= Now, using the relation, v = u + at
t =
v - u
=
20 - 10
=
10
× 9sec = 9s.
