Q11 of 24 Page 31

Derive the equation for uniform accelerated motion for the displacement covered in its nth second of its motion.

Let the total displacement covered after n sec = S_n

Let the initial velocity be u and acceleration be a.

Displacement covered in n^th sec = S_n – S_n-1

From the equation of motion, we know that

S_n

S_n-1

Displacement covered in n^th sec = S_n – S_n-1
