A 24N force acts on a body such that it changes its velocity from 5m/s…

A 24N force acts on a body such that it changes its velocity from 5m/s to 9m/s in 2 secs.If the body is travelling in a straight line, calculate the distance covered in the period.

  • A.
    22m
  • B.
    18m
  • C.
    14m
  • D.
    10m
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

(a = frac{v – u}{t} = frac{9 – 5}{2} = 2 ms^{-2})

(s = ut + frac{1}{2}at^{2} = 5(2) + frac{1}{2}(2 times 2^{2}))

= (14m)
