Detailed Solution

A car weighing 2400 kg and moving with a velocity of 20 m/is stopped in 10 s on applying brakes. The acceleration of the car is 2 m/s2.
Given that,
mass m= 2400 kg
Initial velocity = 20 m/s
Final velocity v= 0 m/s
Time = 10 s
From the equation
=>v=u+at 
=>a=v-ut
a=0-2010  a=-2 m/s2
Where negative sign represents retardation.
