Question

Answer this if u can

Answer 1

Distance (s) = ut + (at^2)/2

1. If the body starts from rest, it means that the starting velocity is zero.
So,

u = 0

Thus, the distance (s) = 0×t + (at^2)/2

s = 0 + (at^2)/2

=> s = (at^2)/2...........●



2. If the motion of the body is uniform, it means that there is no acceleration and acceleration is 0.
So,

a = 0

Thus, the distance (s) = ut + (0×t^2)/2

s = ut + 0

=> s = ut..............●

So, in these ways the formula of distance is modified.
