Starting from rest,a scooter acquires a velocity of $36 \, km/h$ in $10 \, s$ and then brakes are applied,taking $20 \, s$ to stop. Calculate the acceleration and the total distance travelled.

  • A
    Acceleration = $1 \, m/s^2$,Deceleration = $-0.5 \, m/s^2$,Distance = $150 \, m$
  • B
    Acceleration = $1 \, m/s^2$,Deceleration = $-0.5 \, m/s^2$,Distance = $200 \, m$
  • C
    Acceleration = $1 \, m/s^2$,Deceleration = $-0.5 \, m/s^2$,Distance = $250 \, m$
  • D
    Acceleration = $1 \, m/s^2$,Deceleration = $-0.5 \, m/s^2$,Distance = $300 \, m$
