A particle moving with uniform retardation covers distance 18 M, 14 M and 10 m in successive seconds it comes to rest after travelling a further distance of
To find the total distance covered by the particle before coming to rest, we need to sum up the distances it covered in each second.
Let's break down the given information:
- In the first second, the particle covers a distance of 18 m.
- In the second second, the particle covers a distance of 14 m.
- In the third second, the particle covers a distance of 10 m.
To find the total distance covered, we need to add up these three distances:
Total distance = 18 m + 14 m + 10 m
Total distance = 42 m
Therefore, the particle covers a total distance of 42 meters before coming to rest.
