Question

A body travels 200 cm in first two seconds and 220 cm in next four second what will be the velocity at the end of seventh second

Answer 1

Answer:

Let 'u' be the initial velocity and 'a' the acceleration.

So we have the distance formula

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

In first 2 seconds,

s = 200

Put the values in the formula.

200 = u x 2 + 1/2 x a x (2)^2

200 = 2u + 1/2 x 4 x a

200 = 2u + 2a

100 = u + a -----(I)

In next 4 seconds

Let the distance traveled be 'y'

Time = 2+4 = 6 sec

So according to the formula ,

y = u x 6 + 1/2a x (6)^2

y = 6u + 1/2 x 36 x a

y = 6u + 18a ------(ii)

Now we know that 220 cm was traveled in between 2 sec - 6 sec

y - 200 = 220

y = 420

We know y = 6u + 18a (from [ii])

So, 6u + 18a = 420

u + 3a = 70 ------(iii)

Equating (I) and (iii)

-2a = 30

a = -15 cm/s^2

u = 100 - (-15)

u = 100 + 15 = 115 cm/sec

Now we know v = u + at

We have to find the "v" after 7th second

So v = 115 + (-15) x 7

v = 115 - 105

v = 10 cm/sec
