A body starts from rest from the origin with an acceleration of \(6\ \mathrm{m/s^{2}}\) along the x- axis and \(8 \, m/s^{2}\) along the y -axis. Its distance from the origin after 4 seconds will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
\(S_x = u_x t + \frac{1}{2} a_x t^2 \Rightarrow S_x = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 16 = 48\,m\)
\(S_y = u_y t + \frac{1}{2} a_y t^2 \Rightarrow S_y = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 16 = 64\,m\)
\(S = \sqrt{S_x^2 + S_y^2} = 80\,m\)
