Question
A body starts from rest and moves with a uniform acceleration of 2 m/s2 in a
straight line. What is the velocity after 5s, How far has it travelled in this time and When will it be 100m from its starting point?

Answer:
Final velocity = 10 m/s
Time taken to travel 100 meter = 8.16 second (Approx.)
Explanation:
Given:
Acceleration = 2 m/s²
Initial velocity = 0 m/s
Find:
Velocity after 5 seconds
Time taken to travel 100 meter
Computation:
Using first equation of motion
v = u + at
v = 0 + (2)(5)
Final velocity = 10 m/s
Using Second equation of motion
s = ut + (1/2)(a)(t²)
100 = (0)(t) + (1/2)(3)(t²)
100 = (1/2)(2)(t²)
100 = (t²)
t = 10
Time taken to travel 100 meter = 8.16 second (Approx.)
