When a car driver travelling at a speed of $10\ m/s$ applies brakes and brings the car to rest in $20\ s$, then retardation will be:
(a) $+2\ m/s^2$
(b) $-2\ m/s^2$
(c) $-0.5\ m/s^2$
(d) $+0.5\ m/s^2$
Initial velocity $u=10\ m/s$
Final velocity $v=0$
Time $t=20\ s$
Therefore, retardation $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$
$=\frac{0-10}{20}$
$=\frac{-10}{20}$
$=-0.5\ m/s^2$
Therefore, option (b) is correct.
