If an item starts out at rest (uniform velocity 0), accelerates uniformly (or, alternatively, averagely),
then final velocity after t time is a×t and distance covered is 12at2.
Here car travels from rest in a distance of 400m in 16 seconds
Hence 400=12×a×162
i.e. a=2×40016×16=21×40025168×161=258msec2
