An object of mass 2 kg moves with a uniform speed of 10ms-1 for 5s along an straight path. Determine the magnitude of its acceleration

An object of mass 2 kg moves with a uniform speed of 10ms^-1 for 5s along an straight path. Determine the magnitude of its acceleration

Answer Details

Since the object is moving with a constant velocity, its acceleration is zero. This is because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, and if the velocity is constant, there is no change and hence, no acceleration. Therefore, the answer is (a) 0 ms^-2.
