A body has initial velocity of 3 m/s and has an
acceleration of 2 m/s². The distance travelled
by it in 5 s and its velocity is
(A) 40 m, 13 m/s (B) 10 m, 13 m/s
(C) 40 m, 10 m/s (D) 10 m, 10 m/s
Answers
Given :
Initial velocity, u = 3 m/s
Acceleration, a = 2 m/s²
Time taken, t = 5 seconds
To find :
Final velocity, v
Distance travelled, s
According to the question,
➟ v = u + at
Where,
v = Final velocity
u = Initial velocity
a = Acceleration
t = Time taken
➟ v = 3 + 2 × 5
➟ v = 3 + 10
➟ v = 13
So, the final velocity is 13 m/s.
Now,
➟ s = ut + ½ at²
Where,
s = Distance travelled
u = Initial velocity
a = Acceleration
t = Time taken
➟ s = 3 × 5 + ½ × 2 × 5 × 5
➟ s = 15 + 25
➟ s = 40
So, the distance travelled by the body is 40 m.
Hence, option (A) 40 m, 13 m/s is correct.
A body has initial velocity of 3 m/s and has an
acceleration of 2 m/s². The distance travelled
by it in 5 s and its velocity is
(A) 40 m, 13 m/s (B) 10 m, 13 m/s
(C) 40 m, 10 m/s (D) 10 m, 10 m/s
(A)40m,13m/s
