Question

How far will a body move in 4 seconds if uniformly accelerated from rest at rate of 2m\sm\s​

Answer 1

Answer:

16 m

Explanation:

For an object in uniformly accelerated motion (=with constant acceleration), the distance covered by the body can be found by using the following suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the body in this problem,

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

$a=2 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Substituting t = 4 s, we find the distance covered:

$s=0+\frac{1}{2}(2)(4)^2=16 m$
