Instantaneous velocity
Question

A particle is moving in a straight line with initial velocity u and uniform acceleration f. If the sum of the distances travelled in tth and (t+1)th seconds is 100 cm, then its velocity after t seconds, in cm/s,  is

Moderate
Solution

Sum of distances travelled in tth and (t+1)th seconds is 100 cm.

u+a2(2t-1)+u+a2(2(t+1)-1) = 100

2u + 2at = 100

u+at = 1002    v = 50 cm/s
