A body starts from rest and moves in a straight line with uniform acceleration of 5ms?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: B. 250 m
Explanation
\(s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}\)
\(u = 0, t = 10 secs, a = 5 ms^{-2}\)
\(s = 0 + \frac{1}{2} 5 \times 10^{2}\)
\(s = 250 m\)
