Question:

A body starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at \(2\ \text{m/s}^2\). The distance covered in \(5\ \text{s}\) is:

Show Hint

If a body starts from rest, then \(u=0\), and the formula becomes \(s=\frac{1}{2}at^2\).

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
For uniformly accelerated motion, distance covered is given by: \(\displaystyle s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\) where, \(u=\) initial velocity
\(a=\) acceleration
\(t=\) time

Step 1:
Write the given values.
The body starts from rest, so: \(\displaystyle u=0\) Acceleration: \(\displaystyle a=2\ \text{m/s}^2\) Time: \(\displaystyle t=5\ \text{s}\)

Step 2:
Apply the formula.
\(\displaystyle s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\) \(\displaystyle s=(0)(5)+\frac{1}{2}(2)(5)^2\) \(\displaystyle s=0+1\times 25\) \(\displaystyle s=25\ \text{m}\)

Step 3:
Final conclusion.
Hence, the distance covered is: \(\displaystyle \boxed{25\ \text{m}}\)
