A particle accelerates from rest at a constant rate for some time and attains a velocity of 8m/s. Afterwards it deaccelerates with the constant rate and comes to rest .If the total time taken is 4sec, what is the distance travelled?
Answers
Given:-
- Initial velocity ,u = 0m/s
- Final velocity ,v = 8m/s
- Time taken ,t = 4
To Find:-
- Distance travelled ,s
Solution:-
Firstly we calculate the acceleration of the particles.
Using 1st Equation of Motion
• v = u +at
where,
v is the final velocity
a is the acceleration
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken
Substitute the value we get
→ 8 = 0 + a ×4
→ 8 = a×4
→ a = 8/4
→ a = 2m/s²
Acceleration is 2m/s²
Now, Calculating the Distance travelled.
Using 3rd equation of motion
• v² = u² +2as
Substitute the value we get
→ 8² = 0² + 2×2 × s
→ 64 = 0 + 4×s
→ 64 = 4×s
→ s = 64/4
→ s = 16 m
Therefore, the distance travelled by the particles is 16 metres.
