A particle covers 20m in the first 2 seconds of its motion from rest under uniform acceleration. What is the magnitude of its acceleration?
This question involves the application of the second equation of motion to calculate the acceleration of a particle when its displacement, initial velocity and time are given.

The second equation of motion is s = ut +1/2at². Substituting u = 0, s = 20m and t = 2s:
20 = 0 +1/2a(2²)
20 = 2a
a = 10 m/s².
