Question 40
F

A card of length 12 cm is attached to a trolley. The card blocks the beam at light gate P for 0.080 s and at light gate Q for 0.040 s.

These readings give the trolley's speeds at P and Q. The time between these speed measurements is 0.60 s.

What is the average acceleration between P and Q?
