Easy -1.8 This is a trivial one-step kinematics problem requiring only direct substitution into v = u + at (with u=0, v=3, t=6), yielding a=0.5. It's multiple choice with 1 mark, requiring no problem-solving or multi-step reasoning—significantly easier than average A-level questions.
A particle, initially at rest, starts to move forward in a straight line with constant acceleration, \(a \text{ m s}^{-2}\)
After 6 seconds the particle has a velocity of \(3 \text{ m s}^{-1}\)
Find the value of \(a\)
Circle your answer.
