An object moves with an initial velocity of 10 m/s and comes to rest in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the object?

Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s (given)

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (object comes to rest)

Time (t) = 5 seconds (given)

Using the equation: a = (v - u) / t

Acceleration (a) = (0 m/s - 10 m/s) / 5 seconds

Acceleration (a) = -2 m/s2
