Question

In the equation of motion, $S=ut+1/2a{t}^2$, S stands for

• A. displacement in $t$ seconds
• B. maximum height reached
• C. displacement in the $t^{th}$ second
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A displacement in $t$ seconds

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{t}^2$

where

S= Distance traveled in the t seconds
u= Initial velocity of the motion

a= acceleration or retardation of the motion
