Step 1 :Step 1: Rearrange the equation: \(v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as\) to solve for acceleration. Given that \(v = 5 \mathrm{~m/s}\), \(u = 0 \mathrm{~m/s}\) (from rest), and \(s = 36 \mathrm{~m}\), we want to find \(a\).
Step 2 :Step 2: Substitute the given values into the equation: \(5^{2} = 0^{2} + 2a(36)\).
Step 3 :Step 3: Solve for \(a\): \(a = \frac{5^{2}}{2 \times 36}\)
