A uniformly accelerating body covers a distance of in the and in the . What is the initial velocity and acceleration?
Step 1: Given information
Body covers a distance of in the .
Body covers a distance of in the .
We have to determine the initial velocity and acceleration.
Step 2: Formula
We know the formula,
Here,
s is the distance.
u is the initial velocity.
a is the acceleration.
Step 3: Finding acceleration
By substituting the given values in the above formula, we get
By solving the above equations, we get
By substituting the value of a in ,
Therefore, the initial velocity is and the acceleration is .
