Question

state UT plus half a t square ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

V = u + at

soln.

Consider a body of mass “m” having initial velocity

“u”.Let after time “t” its final velocity becomes “v” due to

uniform acceleration “a”.

Now we know that:

Acceleration = change in velocity/Time taken

=> Acceleration = Final velocity-Initial velocity / time taken

=> a = v-u /t

=>at = v-u

or v = u + at

This is the first equation of motion.

(2) Second equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

sol.

Let the distance travelled by the body be “s”.

We know that

Distance = Average velocity X Time

Also, Average velocity = (u+v)/2

.: Distance (t) = (u+v)/2 X t …….eq.(1)

Again we know that:

v = u + at

substituting this value of “v” in eq.(2), we get

s = (u+u+at)/2 x t

=>s = (2u+at)/2 X t

=>s = (2ut+at^2)/2

=>s = 2ut/2 + at^2/2

or s = ut +1/2 at^2

This is the 2nd equation of motion.
