Question

An object starting from rest travels 20 m in first 2 s and 160 m in next 4 s. The velocity of object after
8 s from the start will be
A80 m/s
B40 m/s
C160 m/s
D60 m/s​

In first 2 s,

s=20m

a=10 m/s

Velocity at the end of 2 s is  

v=u+at=0+10×2=20m/s

In next 4s, s=ut+

It shows that acceleration is uniform. From v=u+at

v=0+10×7=70 m/s  

Answer: (D) 70
