Q3 of 14 Page 104

Solve

An object at rest starts moving. It covers a distance of 2m in one second. It covers a further distance of 5 m in two seconds in the same direction. What is its average velocity and acceleration?


Given,
The object is at rest, so initial velocity is zero.
⇒u = 0
In one second, distance travelled = 2 m
In next two seconds, distance travelled = 5 m
Total time taken(t) = 1 + 2 = 3 s
Total distance travelled(s) = 2 + 5 = 7 m
As the direction of motion is not changed, so distance = displacement.
Total Displacement = 7 m
