Answer 1

distance covered by body

Answer 2

$\blue{\bold{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}}$

$\green{\therefore{\text{Distance=62.5\:m}}}$

$\orange{\bold{\underline{\underline{Step-by-step\:explanation:}}}}$

• In the given question information given about a body starts from rest and moves with a uniform acceleration of 5m/s^2.

• We have to find Distance travelled.

$\green{\underline\bold{Given :}} \\ :\implies \text{Initial\:velocity(u)=0\:m/s} \\ \\ :\implies \text{Acceleration= 5\:m/}s^{2} \\ \\ :\implies \text{Time= 5\:sec}\\ \\ \red{\underline \bold{To \: Find : }} \\ :\implies \text{Distance(s)= ?}$

• According to given question :

$\bold{using \: second \: equation \: of \: motion } \\ : \implies s = ut + \frac{1}{2}a {t}^{2} \\ \\ : \implies s = 0 \times 5+ \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times {5}^{2} \\ \\ : \implies s = 0+\frac{1}{2} \times 125\\ \\ : \implies s =0+ 62.5 \\ \\ \green{ : \implies \text{ s = 62.5\: m}}$
