Question

If initial velocity of an object is zero, then distance covered in time t and acceleration of 9.8 m/s² will be
Options
A 2.9t²
B 3.1t²
C 4.9t²
Correct Answer
D 0.5t²
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

From s = ut + ½at², with u=0 and a=9.8 m/s², s = ½ × 9.8 × t² = 4.9 t².

Hint

Use the equation of motion for constant acceleration starting from rest.
