A body accelerated uniformly from rest at the rate of 3m/s² for 8 second calculate the distance cover by the body during the acceleration
To calculate the distance covered by the body during acceleration, you can use the equation:
distance = (initial velocity * time) + (0.5 * acceleration * time^2)
Given:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (as the body starts from rest)
Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²
Time (t) = 8 seconds
Substituting the values into the equation:
distance = (0 * 8) + (0.5 * 3 * 8^2)
distance = 0 + (0.5 * 3 * 64)
distance = 0 + (0.5 * 3 * 64)
distance = 0 + 96
distance = 96 meters
Hence, the distance covered by the body during the acceleration is 96 meters.
