MCQ

A car is travelling in the north direction. To stop, it produces a deceleration of $60\ m/ s^2$. Which of the following is a correct representation for the deceleration?

A
$60\ m/ s^2$ Northwards
✓
$60\ m/ s^2$ Southwards
C
$60\ m/ s^2$ Eastwards
D
$60\ m/ s^2$ Westwards

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$60\ m/ s^2$ Southwards

Deceleration always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.
Magnitude of deceleration is $60\ m/ s^2$ and it acts in the direction opposite to North.
Hence the answer is $60\ m/ s^2$ Southwards.
