A particle travels 10m in first 5 sec and 10m in next 3 sec. Assuming constant acceleration what is the distance travelled in next 2 sec
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Let initial
velocity of particle = 
for first 5 sec of motion
,
so by using 
⇒ ⇒
…. (i)
for first 8 sec of motion 
⇒ ⇒
.... (ii)
By solving (i) and (ii) 
Now distance travelled by particle in total 10 sec .

by substituting the value of
and
we will get
m
So the distance in last 2 sec = s 10 – s 8
m
