Question

Find the distance travelled by the body in 5th second,when it is stated with an initial velocity of 10m/s and uniform acceleration 5 m/s^2

Answer 1

Given:-

•Initial velocity(u)=10m/s

•Acceleration(a)=5m/s²

To find:-

•Distance travelled by the body in the 5th second

Solution:-

We know that distance travelled by a body in the nth second is ---

=>Sn=u+a/2(2n-1)

=>Sn=10+5/2(2×5-1)

=>Sn=10+22.5

=>Sn=32.5m

Thus,distance travelled by the body in the 5th second is 32.5m
