Question

Plot velocity time graph for a body whose initial velocity is 5m/s and is moving with a retardation of 1m/sec.Also calculate the distance covered by it

Answer 1

Here is your answer

Initial velocity = 5 ms^-1 (u)

Retardation= 1 ms^-2 (a)

Final velocity = 0 (v)

v^2= u^2 - 2aS

S= distance covered

S = 25÷2=12.5m

S= (v^2+u^2)÷2a

Substituting the values we get

Distance covered is 12.5m

Hope this helps.
