    A particle experience a constant acceleration for 20 s, after starting from rest, it travels a distance 5i in first 10 s and a distance \[{{s}_{2}}\] in next 10 s, then

    A) \[{{s}_{2}}=\text{ }{{s}_{1}}\]                                    

    B)  \[{{s}_{2}}=\text{ }2{{s}_{1}}\]

    C) \[{{s}_{2}}=\text{ }3{{s}_{1}}\]                                  

    D)  \[{{s}_{2}}=\text{ }4{{s}_{1}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     From equation of motion, we get                 \[s=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\] where u is initial velocity, a the acceleration and t the time. Given, u = 0 (from rest), t = 10 s, \[s={{s}_{1}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{s}_{1}}=0+\frac{1}{2}\,a\,{{(10)}^{2}}=50a\] ... (i) Velocity after 10 s                                 v = u + ac                 \[v=0+a\times 10=10a\] Distance covered in next 10 s is                 \[{{s}_{2}}=vt+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\]                 \[{{s}_{2}}=10a\times 10+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times {{(10)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{s}_{2}}=3{{s}_{1}}\]                                  ... (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[\frac{{{s}_{2}}}{{{s}_{1}}}=\frac{150\,a}{50\,a}=\frac{3}{1}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{s}_{2}}=3{{s}_{1}}\]
