Acceleration = change in velocity divided by time taken...

I.e Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial Velocity) /time taken...

The question says the body accelerate from rest... Therefore it's initial velocity = 0

It reach a speed(velocity) of 20m/s.. My final velocity

And the time taken to attain the velocity = 5 seconds....

Therefore

acceleration = (20-0)/5

a = 20/5

a = 4ms¯²

Hope this helped....

A negative velocity, approaching zero, represents a negative acceleration. True or False
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Lets assume our positive direction to the right (this reasoning works for any direction). A negative velocity would then be then directed to the left. If it varies as such that it aproaches to zero, it means that the variation is directed to the right, and that is where the direction of the acceleration must be pointing. In other words, its losing its velocity, so the acceleration must point opposite to the velocity. Then it means the acceleration is positive.
