Question
A body is moving towards north with initial velocity of 13m/s. Its is subjected to a retardation of 2 m/s2 towards south.The distance travelled in 7th sec is ??
Joshi sir comment
displacement of any particular sec. = u+at-(a/2)
here direction of motion is opposite to the direction of acceleration so formula will be u-at+(a/2)
displacement in 7th sec = 0
now we know that direction of motion will become south after 6.5 sec. so distance for last half sec = ut+(1/2)at2 = 1/4
same will be the distance for the first half sec of 7th. so total distance for 7th sec = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2
Read 3 Solution.
using sn = u+a/2(2n-1)
sn is the distance travelled in nth second u=initial vel a=accn
we get s7=0
hence the ans=0
