प्रश्न
A body starts from rest with uniform acceleration 2 m s-2. Find the distance covered by the body in 2 s.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Initial velocity u = 0
Acceleration a = 2 m/s2
Time t = 2 s
Let 'S' be the distance covered.
Using the second equation of motion,
S = ut + (1/2) at2
S = 0 + (1/2) (2) (2) 2
S = 4 m

| S.No | First Move | Seconde Move | Distance (m) | Displacement |
| 1. | Move 4 metres east | Move 2 metres west | 6 | 2 m east |
| 2. | Move 4 metres north | Move 2 metres south | ||
| 3. | Move 2 metres east | Move 4 metres west | ||
| 4. | Move 5 metres east | Move 5 metres west | ||
| 5. | Move 5 metres south | Move 2 metres north | ||
| 6. | Move 10 metres west | Move 3 metres east |
State whether true or false. If false, correct the statement.
Distance covered by a particle never becomes zero but displacement becomes zero.
