A body starts from rest and moves in a straight line with uniform acceleration of…

A body starts from rest and moves in a straight line with uniform acceleration of (5 ms^{-2}). How far, in metres, does it go in 10 seconds?

  • A.
    50 m
  • B.
    250 m
  • C.
    350 m
  • D.
    500 m
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

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

(u = 0, t = 10 secs, a = 5 ms^{-2})

(s = 0 + frac{1}{2} 5 times 10^{2})

(s = 250 m)
