    A car accelerates from rest at constant rate for first 10 s and covers a distance x. It covers a distance y in next 10s at the same acceleration. Which of the following is true?

    A) x = 3y                                   

    B) y = 3x

    C) x = y                                      

    D) y - 2x

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Since car accelerates from rest initial velocity is zero. From equation of motion, we have \[s=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\]where u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration. Since car accelerates from rest u = 0, t = 10s \[\therefore \]               \[s=0+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times {{(10)}^{2}}=50a\]             ?(i) Also, v = u + at where, v is final velocity. \[\therefore \] Velocity after 10 s is \[v=0+a\times 10\] \[v=10a=10\times \frac{s}{50}\]                 ?(ii) In the next 10s car moves with constant acceleration and with initial velocity v. \[\therefore \]                  \[s'=vt+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{s}{50}\times 10\times 10+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{s}{50}\times 100=3s\] Given, \[s=x\]and \[s'=y\] \[\therefore \]                \[y=3x\]
