The displacement and the increase in the velocity of a moving particle in the time interval of t to (t+1) s are 125 m and 50 m s-1, respectively. The distance travelled by the particle in (t+2)th s is ___________ m.

Solution

Considering acceleration is constant, we can write

v=u+at

As increase in velocity in 1 s is given as 50 m s-1, therefore

a=50 m s-2

Now, displacement covered between given time interval is, 

125=ut+12at2

125=u+a2

u=100 m s-1

Velocity after 1 s will be, v=100+50=150 m s-1

Therefore, displacement covered in t+1 s to t+2 s will 

Snth=vt'+12at'2, where t'=1 s

=175 m
