Question:

A particle moving with an initial velocity of $1\ \text{m s}^{-1}$ has a uniform acceleration of $2\ \text{m s}^{-2}$. The distances travelled by the particle in the first two intervals of $5\ \text{s}$ are respectively:

Show Hint

To find the distance in the "next" interval, subtract the total distance of the previous intervals from the new total distance.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Concept
Use the kinematic equation $s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$.

Step 2: Calculation (First 5 s)

$s_1 = (1)(5) + \frac{1}{2}(2)(5)^2 = 5 + 25 = 30\ m$.

Step 3: Calculation (Next 5 s)

Total distance in 10 s: $s_{10} = (1)(10) + \frac{1}{2}(2)(10)^2 = 10 + 100 = 110\ m$. Distance in second interval $= s_{10} - s_1 = 110 - 30 = 80\ m$. Final Answer: (D)
