Question

Calculate distance traveled when the body starts from rest and attains an acceleration 0.5m/ps² in 10 second

Answer 1

Answer:

The body travels 50m.

Explanation:

Given that the body starts from rest

Therefore initial velocity (say 'u') = 0m/s

Given acceleration =  0.5m/s²

Given time = 10s

Let the final velocity be 'v'

We know, acceleration = $\frac{velocity}{time}$

=> 0.5 = $\frac{v}{10}$

=> v = 5m/s

We know, velocity = $\frac{distance}{time}$

=> 5 = $\frac{distance}{10}$

=> distance = 50m

Therefore, the body travels 50m.
