QUESTION -
A body starts from rest with uniform acceleration of 8 metre per second square.
Calculate the time in which body attains the velocity of 160 metre per second.
How much distance will be travelled by the body in this time ?
SOLUTION -
From the above Question, we can obtain the following information
...
A body starts from rest with uniform acceleration of 8 metre per second square.
The body attains the velocity of 160 metre per second.
So, the innitial Velocity of the body is 0 m / s as it starts from rest.
U = 0 m / s.
The body attains the velocity of 160 metre per second.
So,
V = 160 m / s.
Let the time taken to attain this velocity be t .
According to Newton ' s first law of motion -
A = { V - U } / t
=> 8 = 160 / t
=> t = 20 seconds........ [ A ]
Now,
According To Newton's second law of motion ,
S = ut + ( 1 / 2 ) a t ^ 2.
Let us substute the required values...
S = ( 1 /2 ) × 8 × 400
=> S = 4 × 400 = 1600 m..... [ A ]
