Question

Derive 2nd equation of motion by graphically method

Answer 1

Answer:

Consider an object is moving with a uniform acceleration “a” along a straight line. The initial and final velocities of the object at time t = 0 and t = t are u and v respectively. During time t, let s be the total distance travelled by the object. In uniformly acceleration motion the velocity – time graph of an object is a straight line, inclined to the time axis

Explanation:

: Distance covered by the object in the given time “t” is given by the area of the trapezium ABDOE.

Let in the given time (t), the distance covered by the moving object = s

The area of trapezium, ABDOE.

Distance (s) = Area of ΔABD + Area of ADOE.

s = ½ x AB x AD + (OD x OE)

s = ½ x DC x AD + (u x t) [∵ AB = DC]

s = ½ x at x t + ut [∵ DC = at]

s = ½ x at x t + ut

s = ut + ½ at².

It is the expression gives the distance covered by the object moving with uniform acceleration.
