Equations of MotionEasyQuestion 5213

Question

The distance covered in the nth second of uniform acceleration is given by:
  1. A
    sₙ = u + a(2n+1)/2
  2. B
    sₙ = u + a(n−1)/2
  3. C
    sₙ = u + a(2n−1)/2
    Correct
  4. D
    sₙ = un + an²/2

Correct answer

sₙ = u + a(2n−1)/2

Explanation

Distance in nth second: sₙ = u + a(2n−1)/2. Derived from sₙ − sₙ₋₁ using the second equation of motion.
