Describe the motion of the body which is accelerating at a constant rate of 10 m s^-2_.If the body starts from the rest how much distance will it cover in 2 sec

Open in App

Solution

It will cover a distance of 20m.
Using Newton's third equation of motion (It can be applied because the acceleration is constant and the motion is supposed to be linear)

s = ut + ½ at² …….. (i)

s = ? ; u = 0 ; t = 2 s ; a = 10m/s²

Substituting these in (i)

s = 0 + ½ * 10 * 2²

Hence, s = 20m.
