Answer

Here we have,

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Final velocity, v = 40 km/h = {{40 \times 1000}\over3600}ms^{-1} = {100\over9}ms^{-1}

Time (t) = 10 minute = 60 × 10 = 600 s

Acceleration (a) =?

We know that, v = u + at

⇒ a = {{v-u} \over t} = {{({100\over9} - 0)}\over600} = {1\over54} = 0.0185ms^{-2}

⇒ a = 0.0185 ms −2
