Question

A body starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 5 m/s2 .How much distance will it cover in the next 0.2 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

The velocity of this body is increasing at a rate of '10 metres per second'. every second.

Initial velocity, u=0m/s

Time, t=2s

Acceleration, a=10m/s

2

Using the second equation of motion,

s=ut+
