    A body travels \[200\,\,cm\] in the first two seconds and \[220\,\,cm\] in the next four seconds with constant acceleration. Find the velocity at the end of the seventh second from the start.

    A) \[5\,\,cm\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]

    B)        \[10\,\,cm\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]  

    C) \[15\,\,cm\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]          

    D)        \[20\,\,cm\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     We have,\[{{S}_{1}}=200\,\,cm\];         \[{{t}_{1}}=2\,\,s\] \[{{S}_{2}}=420\,\,cm\];           \[{{t}_{2}}=6\,\,s\]             \[{{S}_{1}}=u{{t}_{1}}+\frac{1}{2}at_{1}^{2}\Rightarrow u+a=100\]     ? (1)             \[{{S}_{2}}=u{{t}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}at_{2}^{2}\Rightarrow u+3a=70\]            ? (2) Solving (1) and (2), we get             \[a=-15\,\,cm\,\,{{s}^{-2}}\]and\[u=115\,\,cm\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\] Since, \[v=u+at\]             \[v=115-15\times 7=10\,\,cm\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]
