A ball starts from rest such that initial velocity, u=0, and final velocity, v = 14 m/s
and the time duration, t = 8 seconds.
To find initial velocity and acceleration, a.
As the ball is at rest, thus initial velocity is zero.
Acceleration is given by the formula,
[tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}[/tex]Substituting the values in the above equation, we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{14-0}{8} \\ =1.75m/s^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the acceleration is 1.75 m/s^2
