Question

An object is moving witha velocity of 5m/s in a particular direction.calculate the distance travelled by it in 5 sec

Answer 1

Let x be the distance covered by the
object in t seconds.

Velocity = dx/dt

dx/ dt = 5 m / sec

dx = 5 dt

Integrating

x = 5t + C

When t = 0 , x =0

=> C = 0
Now we have , x = 5t

When t = 5 sec , x = 5 (5) = 25 m.

I hope this answer help you

Answer 2

Answer is 25 metres.

For a given speed and given time, the distance travelled by the body is from the formula:

Distance = Speed x Time

Given that speed is 5 m/s and time is 5 sec, distance will be 5 x 5

Hence distance covered by the body in 5 seconds will be 25 metres.
