    A car accelerates from rest at constant rate for first \[10\,\,s\] and covers a distance\[x\]. It covers a distance \[y\] in next \[10\,\,s\] 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 :

    From equation of motion, we have                 \[s=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\] where \[u\] is initial velocity, \[t\] is time, \[a\] 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 \[10\,\,s\] car moves with constant acceleration and with initial velocity \[\therefore \]  \[s=vt+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\]                    \[=\frac{s}{50}\times 10\times 10+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{s}{50}\times 100=3s\] Given, \[s=x\]and\[s=y\] \[\therefore \]  \[y=3x\]
