A particle moving in one-dimension with constant acceleration of 10m/s2 is observed to cover a distance of 100m during a 4s interval. How far will the particle move in the next 4s?

Solution
Given : a=10m/s2
Let the initial velocity be u.
Using S=ut+12at2
For first 4s, S=100m
Or 100=u×4+12×10×42
⟹u=5m/s
Distance covered in 8s, Stotal=5×8+12×10×82=360m
Distance covered in last 4 seconds, D=360−100=260m
