  1. A body is moving with velocity 30 m/s towards east. After 10 seconds its velocity becomes 40 m/s towards north. The average acceleration of the body is
    1. 1 m/s²
    2. 7 m/s²
    3. 7 m/s²
    4. 5 m/s²
Correct Option: D

Average acceleration

<a> =
Change in velocity
total time


<a> =
|40ĵ - 30î|
10 - 0

<a> = √4² + (-3)²
<a> = 5 m/sec²
