Rectilinear Motion
Question

A body starts from rest and moves with a uniform acceleration of  20 m/s2 in the first 10s. During the next 10s it moves with the maximum velocity attained uniformly. The total displacement of the body is

Moderate
Solution

Given that  u=0
 a=20m/s2
t=10S
Step-I
From kinematic equation of motion  S=ut+12at2
S=0+12×20×100 
=1000m.............(1)   
The maximum velocity attained is
V=dsdtC=  
=0+20×10=200m/s  
Step-II
 During the next  10S, the displacement covered with uniform velocity of 200 m/s is 
  S=Vt
  =200×10=2000m.........(2)
 The total displacement of the body covered 
  S=1000+2000
  =3000m
