i have a problem with the equation , v = u + at v = u + at or t = (v - u)/a if a body starts its motion at rest accelerates and then retardates coming to rest initial velocity(u) = 0 and final velocity(v) = 0 according to the equation t = (v - u)/a ; v = 0 and u = 0 so the time taken should be 0 - 0/a thats equal to 0.

Expert Answer:
if a body starts its motion at rest accelerates and then retardates coming to rest initial velocity(u) = 0:
so the whole journey is divided in 2 parts.first part accelerated and second part retarded part.
it can not be taken u=0 and v=0.
