The average velocity of a body moving with uniform acceleration travelling a distance of \(3.06\ \text{m}\) is \(0.34\ \text{ms}^{–1}\). If the change in velocity of the body is \(0.18\ \text{ms}^{–1}\) during this time, its uniform acceleration is:

1. \(0.01\ \text{ms}^{–2}\)

2. \(0.02\ \text{ms}^{–2}\)

3. \(0.03\ \text{ms}^{–2}\)

4. \(0.04\ \text{ms}^{–2}\)

A body \(A\) starts from rest with an acceleration \(a_1\). After \(2\) seconds, another body B starts from rest with an acceleration \(a_2\). If they travel equal distances in the \(5^{th}\) second, after the start of \(A\), then the ratio \(a_1: a_2\)  is equal to:

1. \(5: 9\)
2. \(5: 7\)
3. \(9: 5\)
4. \(9: 7\)
