Question

Q1. A body moving with an
acceleration of 5 m/s2 started
with yriocity of 10 m/s. What
will be the distance travelled in
10 seconds ?​

Answer 1

Answer

Distance travelled will be 350 m [Option C]

Explanation

Given

Acceleration of a body is 5 m/s²

Initial Velocity = 10 m/s

Time = 10 sec

To Find

The distance travelled during this time

Solution

We shall here use the second equation of motion as we are given the initial velocity, the time taken and the acceleration of the body. Here we may think of using the third equation of motion but it won't work as we are not given the final velocity of the body

✭ Distance Covered

→ s = ut + ½at²

→ s = 10×10 + ½ × 5 × 10²

→ s = 100 + ½ × 5 × 100

→ s = 100 + 5×50

→ s = 100 + 250

→ s = 350 m

∴ Our answer here is Option C
