Q. A body starting from rest moves with uniform acceleration. The distance covered by the body in time t is proportional to

CMC MedicalCMC Medical 2008

Solution:

The distance covered by a body moving with uniform acceleration is given by $ s=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}} $ As body starts from rest, therefore initial velocity u = 0 $ \therefore $ Distance covered by the body $ s=\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}} $ or $ s\propto {{t}^{2}} $
