Find the acceleration.
1 cm 7cm

A B C D E F

Solution :

Step Solution
1. Time taken of one part One part = ……. Ticks
= ……. x 0.02 s
= ……. S
2. initial velocity, u = s initial u= cm s-1
t initial
= ………. cm s-1
3. Final velocity, v = s final v= cm s-1
t final
= ………. cm s-1
4. Determine the total time Total time, t = ( ) x …….. s
= x ……... s
Total time = ( Total parts – 1) x time of one part
= ………. S
5. Acceleration, a = v – u a=v–u
t t
=
= ………… cm s-2
