00:01 So let us start with the concept, which we are going to use here for this question, will be the first equation of motion, which is given by v is equals to u plus a t, where v is the final speed, u initial speed, a acceleration at t, will be the time taken.
00:18 According to question, the car traveling with initial speed of u is equals to 12 meter per second, while final speed is given v is equals to 26 meter per second.
00:32 Time taken by the car will be given to us, t is equals to six second, so that we have to find the acceleration, that is a quest equation mark.
00:44 So by using this equation, we can write a t would be equals to v minus of u.
00:51 So from here, acceleration a would be equals to v minus of u, divided by t...
